“The King of the Desert” is one boy's search to find out who he really is in an environment that does not encourage self-expression.His journey begins in a barrio in Texas and eventually leads to The Julliard School and appearances on Broadway.
“This play is an “against all odds” look at how cultural history and personal mythology which some think might limit us, can actually set us free.The play takes us on a Mexican American journey that explores a universal struggle to become our most authentic selves.”
CoActive Content presents the return of the critically acclaimed “The King of the Desert” to Los Angeles in association with The American Latino Theatre to celebrate National Latino Heritage Month. Directed by Award Winning Actors Studio PD Unit Member, Sal Romeo.
Previously working under the auspices of Nosotros and the Ricardo Montalban Theatre respectively, the founders built a track record of success which included the "Transformations", "Love Lies and Revolution" and "Virgin Love."
The AmLT is also proud to introduce its community Outreach Program which provides free or low-cost productions to schools in the Los Angeles area. This program exposes inner-city children to the performing arts as well as providing an opportunity for their involvement in the theatre through classes, workshops, and performance.
