“THE KING OF THE DESERT” STARRING RENE RIVERA

Life will truly imitate art in a new theatrical co-production of the critically acclaimed play, “The King of the Desert.” “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 small Texas barrio and eventually leads to The Julliard School and appearances on Broadway. “My play is an ‘against all odds’ look at how cultural history and personal mythology which some may think might limit us, can actually set us free instead. The play takes us on a Mexican American journey that explores a universal struggle to become our most authentic selves.”Performances will be given at the El Portal Forum Theatre; 5269 Lankershim Boulevard (at Weddington Street), North Hollywood, CA 91601 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 3:00 p.m., October 28 – December 4, 2011, with the exception of the week of November 6th when performances will only be given on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, November 8, 9 and 10, 2011 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $20.00 each for General Admission.
