Full casting has been announced for Flipzoids at the Los Angeles Theater Center. Written by Ralph B. Peña, and directed by Jon Lawrence Rivera, the play runs October 4-28.
Flipzoids tells the story of three Filipinos navigating through the shifting landscapes of home, desire and loneliness. Redford is a 20-something kid that hangs out at beachside restrooms searching for connections; Vangie is a nurse who memorizes the dictionary to sound more American; Aying, Vangie’s mother, struggles with understanding a daughter to whom she has become an embarrassment. Together, they search to understand what it means to be Filipino and/or American — to be a hybrid.
The cast includes Ellen D. Williams (Evangelina), Maxwel Corpuz (Redford), Becca Godinez (Aying).
