Casa 0101 Theater will present the Return Engagement of Josefina López’s critically acclaimed play, “Trío Los Machos,” a comedic Latino “Bromance” with music made famous by the singing group Trío Los Panchos. Performances will be presented at the new Casa 0101 Theater, 2102 E. First Street (at Louis Street), Boyle Heights, CA 90033 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 5:00 p.m., with Discounted Previews, July 12 – 14, 2013, followed by a four-week run, July 19 – August 11, 2013. The play will be presented with subtitles in Spanish.
“Trío Los Machos,” written by Josefina López, follows the journey of three men who come to the U.S. to work in the fields and eventually make a living playing the music they love. The play is a love letter to Latino men and, an homage to Lopez’s father. The play explores the themes of music, aging and male camaraderie set against the backdrop of the Bracero guest worker program (1942 – 1964) between the United States and Mexico. Narrated to the music of Trío Los Panchos, the story covers a chapter of U.S. history seldomly talked about, as the three friends navigate work, friendship, love as their loyalty to one another becomes tested time and again. The play explores the 50-year friendship of its central characters, Lalo, Nacho and Paco.
