From the LAPC Theatre website: “LAPC Theatre continues season with Brazilian fable THE RIVER BRIDE. Los Angeles Pierce College Theatre’s 2023-2024 Season will continue on March 22 with Marisela Treviño Orta’s mythological and poetic folktale, The River Bride. Performances begin Friday, March 22 and continue through Sunday, March 31, 2024 in LAPC’s Dow Arena Theatre. The River Bride opens as Helena is dreading her sister Belmira’s wedding. The groom should have been hers. And she knows that Belmira only wants to escape their quiet Brazilian town for an exciting new life in the city. But three days before the wedding, fishermen pull a mysterious stranger out of the river—a man with no past who offers both sisters an alluring, possibly dangerous future. Amazon folklore and lyric storytelling blend into a heartrending tale of love, grudges, transformation . . . and the ever-present river, giving and taking away.
LAPC Theatre’s production is directed by Esdras Toussaint. The cast includes Emelysse Paez, Rocio Ibarra, Angelo Rosales, Trevor Bowens, Jacob B. Gonzalez, Pahola Godinez, Natalia Kane, Betty Borsari and Avaya Eneria. The production features scenic and sound design by Edward Salas, costume design by Angelina Rodriguez, lighting design by Eliana Captol and projection design by DJ Medina. Victoria Zamora is the stage manager.
The River Bride will open in the Dow Arena Theatre on the Pierce College campus on Friday, March 22 and continue through Sunday, March 31. Performance times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm. Tickets are priced at $15 for students and seniors and $20 for general admission.
