La Olla

What would you do if you won the lotto? Buy a house? Help your relatives? What if you found a pot of gold? In La Olla, Leo, a bit player in a shady 1950’s L.A. nightclub, finds a pot full of cash and is overtaken by greed and mistrust as he plans to use the money to become a “star.” As he focuses on keeping his treasure safe, the nightclub show must go on as music plays, dancers dance, and Leo falls into a frenzied state of confusion where motives are misinterpreted with hilarious results. The Latino Theater Company uses its unique style of comedy, music, dance and imagery to explore one of the most basic aspects of human behavior – greed.
