Latino Theater Co.
The World Premiere of

GHOST
WALTZ

by Oliver Mayer
Directed by Alberto Barboza

Developed in Latino Theater Company’s Circle of Imaginistas playwriting group, this new play is a boldly original recovery of Juventino Rosas, one of Mexico’s most significant composers — an Indigenous musician whose life story has gone untold and whose works have been attributed to Europeans. Following Rosas from his father’s early death to his friendship with ragtime genius Scott Joplin. It’s a mixe of music, magic, drama, passion, spirituality and dance in a celebration that explores the lives of people of color during the emerging Americas of the late 19th century and their ghostlike impact on our own lives today.

  • Previews are an integral part of the theater-making process, allowing directors and playwrights to present their plays to audiences for the first time and identify areas for adjustment. These special performances offer a first look at the play and allow you to be part of each show's creative journey before its official opening. It's worth noting that Previews are priced differently; all previews are available for just $10. We are committed to keeping our Previews at a lower price point to ensure that high-quality live theatre is accessible to as many people as possible.

    Consider attending a Preview and sharing your feedback about the production. You can then return to a performance later in the run to witness how the performance evolves and grows.

  • Latino Theater Co. is proud to present post-show opportunities for you to engage with the artists, learn more about the work on stage and the theatre itself.

    These informal sessions begin approximately two minutes after the end of the performance and typically last 20-25 minutes.

    Dates TBA
