Closer
Wednesday, January 16, 2008 through Saturday, February 02, 2008
 

Tickets are $20; call 212-529-1948 or www.teatrolatea.com or www.caicedoproductions.com for more information. For tickets: www.smarttix.com.

Come and experience "Closer" with the passion and emotion that only an "all-Latino" cast can evoke with their innate infusion of eroticism and sexual desire. It will illuminate the synergy between love and attraction, lust and trust.

Director and producer Veronica Caicedo have given Patrick Marbers acclaimed stage drama about the romantic interactions of four people. Dan (Ricardo Hinoa) is a writer in London who wants to finish a novel, but in the meantime supports himself by writing obituaries. One day he chances upon Alice (Carissa Jocett Toro), a beautiful young American expatriate, working as a stripper, when he sees her get hit by a car. Alice immediately falls for Dan, and gives him her love without reservation. Dan is initially enchanted with Alice, and returns her affection, but while she inspires him to write his novel (based on her life), her neediness begins to wear on him.

Anna (Sol Marina Crespo) is a photographer who is hired to take a portrait of Dan for the dust jacket of his book; Dan is attracted to her easy confidence, and while the two of them flirt, Anna soon (inadvertently through Dan's playful machinations) meets Larry (Antonio Aponte), a dermatologist, and marries him. Dan can't get Anna out of his mind even though she's married, and the two become lovers, but Dan is frustrated by the fact that Anna is reluctant to leave Larry for him.

MASTERING SEX & TORTILLAS!
Written and performed by ADELINA ANTHONY
Teatro LA TEA:
Wednesday - Saturdays: SEPTEMBER 5 - 29 @ 8 p.m.


 
New York, September 25, 2007  Mastering Sex & Tortillas, a very sexy and erotic comedy, tackles sexuality, race, gender and immigration through a queer Chicana lens.

Writer/performer Adelina Anthony solo show was a hit in its Los Angeles debut at The Theatre District last year. Now Mastering Sex & Tortillas comes to NY at Teatro LA TEA Lower East Side. Armed with a nomination for Best Solo Performance from the LA Weekly newest incarnation will run at 8 p.m. every Wednesday through Saturday night from
 
September 5 through September 29, 2007.
Mastering Sex & Tortillas! has played to sold-out houses and standing ovations at BRAVA! (San Francisco), Cara Mia Theatre Company (Dallas), La  toured a national circuit of universities that included Princeton University, University of Texas at El Paso, Stanford University, UC Santa Cruz, DePauw University and Smith College, among many others. In it, Anthony plays La Profesora Mama Chocha, a high-femme and high-drama seminar instructor who more than educates her audience on Lesbianism 101 from a tortillera point of view. After the intermission, she returns as debonair FBI agent Papi Duro, who has plenty of work to do 

The Dallas Morning News said of Mastering Sex & Tortillas!, is not the PC, Birkenstocky, close-cropped lesbian culture some folks may expect. Ms. Anthony seems determined to shake up audiences of every stripe. But likely to leave them shaking with laughter 

Showtimes are 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday; from September 5-29, 2007. Teatro LA TEA is located at the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center, 107 Suffolk St., 2nd floor (between Delancey and Rivington Streets).
