Free pageant ‘La Virgen de Guadalupe, Dios Inantzin’ returns Dec. 6-7

Latino Theater Company returns with “La Virgen de Guadalupe, Dios Inantzin,” the company’s signature holiday pageant that has been a Los Angeles holiday tradition since 2002. 

“Join the tens of thousands who have become transfixed by the story of Juan Diego, a simple peasant to whom the Virgin Mary appeared on four occasions in the mountains of Tepeyac near Mexico City in 1531,” show organizers said in a statement.

Starring Esperanza América as the Virgin Mary and Sal Lopez as Juan Diego, the cast features over 100 actors, singers and indigenous Aztec dancers as well as children and seniors from the community. 

“La Virgen” is LA’s largest theatrical holiday pageant and has been covered by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles HOY, Univision and Fox News, among many others.

Performances in Spanish with English supertitles are scheduled for Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. and Dec. 7 at 6 p.m. at Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, 555 W. Temple St. in downtown Los Angeles. General admission is free, and premium seating costs $45.
