Teatro Audaz presents...

Mojada: A Medea in Los Angeles by Luis Alfaro
Directed by Laura T. Garza
Associate Director: Jillian Campos

Inspired by Euripides’ Medea, Mojada is a powerful and heart-wrenching reimagining of the Greek tragedy, set in modern-day America. Luis Alfaro masterfully blends ancient myth with contemporary struggles, telling the story of an immigrant family’s journey to the United States and the sacrifices they must make to survive.
Through this production, we continue our mission of reclaiming and reshaping classic stories to reflect the realities of our community. Mojada speaks to themes of displacement, resilience, and the cost of the American Dream—all through the lens of a Latina protagonist fighting for her family’s future.
This play is raw, emotional, and deeply relevant, and we are honored to bring it to the stage.

URBAN-15 and Jacque Salame are proud to present “Happy Birthday Mom”, Salame’s groundbreaking, multidisciplinary dance performance, premiering at 8pm on Saturday, August 30th at URBAN-15 Studios (2500 S. Presa). This powerful production was Directed by Salame and co-written by Eli Rios, Chrystal Alexander, and writing consultant Joyous Jimenez Windrider, and delves into the complexities of family, loss, and the urgent need for reform in our justice system. Tickets are available at https://dojour.us/e/58786-happy-birthday-mom .

HBDM uses a unique blend of original music, animation, dialogue, spoken word and dynamic choreography by Rosie Torres, Jonathan Estrada Sologuren and Salame, to tell the emotional story of a mother who discovers her son is missing on her birthday. She encounters a harrowing experience during her search for him that sheds light on systemic issues affecting communities of color. The narrative invites audiences to reflect on the implications of justice and the experiences of those often marginalized.

The impact of Fitz and The Tantrums can be felt in nearly every corner of culture. Amassing billions of streams, landing hundreds of film, television, and commercial placements, and soundtracking countless professional sporting events in stadiums worldwide, the group have quietly evolved from an underground Los Angeles indie curiosity into an irresistible and incomparable multiplatinum pop phenomenon. Across five full-length albums, they have served up one instantly recognizable anthem after another, including the 4x-Platinum “HandClap,” 3x-Platinum “Out of My League,” Platinum “The Walker,” and Gold “Moneygrabber.” Renowned for their energetic live performances, the band continues to headline packed houses, selling out venues like Kia Forum, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and beyond. In addition to appearing at legendary festivals - Bonnaroo, Coachella, Lollapalooza, etc…, they have also electrified television shows such as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, Good Morning America, TODAY, and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, to name a few. Making bodies move and lifting spirits, the group bob and weave between soul, indie, and pop with passion, panache, and purpose, pushing boundaries at every turn. Now, Fitz and The Tantrums ignite their next chapter with the smoky and swaggering single “Ruin The Night” and massive 2025 Man On The Moon Tour across North America, setting the stage for much more to come. No matter what they do next, you’ll undoubtedly feel it.

Inspired by true events, "Happy Birthday Mom, HBDM" is a groundbreaking multidisciplinary dance performance. Directed and written by Jacque Salame, alongside co-writers Eli Rios, Chrystal Alexander, and writing consultant Joyous Jimenez Windrider, this powerful production delves into the complexities of family, loss, and the urgent need for reform in our justice system. Through a unique blend of original music, animation, dialogue, spoken word and dynamic choreography by Rosie Torres, Jonathan Estrada Sologuren and Salame, HBDM tells the emotional story of a mother who discovers her son is missing on her birthday. As she embarks on a desperate search for him, she encounters a harrowing experience that sheds light on systemic issues affecting communities of color.
This one-hour presentation not only captures the emotional weight of personal struggle but also serves as a vital commentary on the current societal and political challenges that demand attention and action. The narrative invites audiences to reflect on the implications of justice and the experiences of those often marginalized.

The best laid plans go awry when the cast and crew of a Broadway-bound play resort to manipulation, diva-like behavior, and chaotic abandon to get what they want. Fledgling playwright Jerry Przpezniak and his fiancee are a couple of Buffalo greenhorns suddenly swept up in the whirlwind of New York’s theater scene when Jerry’s play is optioned for the big money, ego-driven world of Broadway. It’s a young playwright’s dream, but the crazy characters and dilemmas they encounter are the things theatrical nightmares are made of.
