Los Illegals

Experience the passion and struggle of day laborers in Los Angeles, a community living on the front lines of the battle over documentation. A controversial accusation ignites fiery tensions about who belongs where, and suddenly all boundaries are bursting with each side’s fervent plea to be heard. Inspired by Lope de Vega’s Fuente Ovejuna and fueled by true stories gathered from rallies, protests, job centers, work sites, and individual interviews, Los Illegals is performed in a vibrant mixture of English and Spanish by a cast of over 30, including professional actors and community participants.
