Latino Theater Company Celebrates 41st Season with World Premiere: The Storyteller of East LA
The plot of this story, as the title says, is set in East Los Angeles, with Mercedes (Lucy Rodriguez), a 90-year-old woman with dementia. Her health is declining and practically bed-bound; her youngest daughter, Grace (Zilah Mendoza), is the caretaker with the help of day and nighttime caregivers. When the ICE raids become more frequent and closer, the night person quits, leaving Grace in a more stressful and frustrated state, considering moving Mercedes into an assisted facility.
