Playwrights' Arena and Latino Theater Company

world premiere of
The Girl Most Likely To
written by Michael Premsrirat
directed by Jon Lawrence Rivera

CRITIC'S PICK!!!!

"a knockout new play by a promising young playwright...
“The Girl Most Likely To” is filled with humor, insight,
and a Tennessee Williams–like gift
for finding the poetic in the most unlikely places."
- BACK STAGE

"... resolutely upbeat, featuring splashy drag-show musical numbers lip-synched to recordings by pop divas, exotic costumes, athletic choreography by Giovanni Ortega and lots of glitz and glamour."
- LA WEEKLY

"This is truly break-through material, well-handled and exceptionally entertaining. You will be shocked, horrified, gratified and enlightened. So, what else is the value of theatre, eh?"
- LATIN HEAT

A Filipino-American boy wants nothing more than to be accepted for who he is. Forget that he likes wearing girl’s clothes to school and
breaks out to do impromptu Christina Aguilera songs. That’s nothing
compared to the trouble he is headed. A funny, heart-wrenching, sweet play about owning yourself.

FLASH THEATER L.A.

INAUGURAL LAUNCH OF FLASH THEATER L.A.
AN EPIC SUCCESS

Were you there?
Did you see it live?
Or did you miss it?

FLASH THEATER L.A. had its inaugural launch on September 27th on Spring Street between 5th and 6th Streets. The cast and crew of over 150 artists performed to a crowd of about 500 people made up of community and artistic leaders, downtown residents, young, urban folk and wandering homeless people.

It was a magical night.
