Go back to a time and place where LOVE was a drug, friends became FAMILIA, and the music gave you LIFE! Come experience, or re-experience, the magic that was ARENA!
ARENA: A House MUSIC-al is based on the house music of the 1990’s at the legendary ARENA Nightclub in Hollywood, CA. A coming of age story which follows Lucio Torrez, a young music minister at his father’s Apostolic church, who is looking to live his truth, find his voice and a place where he can be free. ARENA: A House MUSIC-al includes adult themes and nudity. The show is recommended for ages 17 and older.
Abel Alvarado, the Creator of ARENA: A House MUSIC-al said: “A few years ago I had an idea of telling the story of my life in a stage play. I met with CASA 0101 Theater’s Artistic Director, Josefina López, and with her guidance, I developed an outline for my story, which I am so proud is now being realized in this full production.”
Rigo Tejeda, Director of ARENA: A House MUSIC-al said: “Abel Alvarado’s story is authentic. In his own words, he is telling his truth, which I am sure will resonate with audiences coming to see this show. His story of how he found his tribe, and came to understand the person he was born to be is a liberating tale, which people will be able to identify with.”
