An immersive play about Los Angeles, and a young man's passage to discover his family.

Experience the sights, smells, and sounds of South El Monte! Pasaje, meaning "Passage", is a captivating journey of self-discovery and family revelations. Written by J Quiroz, with music by Grammy-winner Asdru Sierra, and directed by Benjamin Perez. As 18-year-old Andy unravels deep family secrets, he faces truths about his identity and community, guided by dancer Marcelina and Don Miguel. This coming-of-age musical explores the Latin American diaspora and the complex nature of family, blending drama, music, and heartfelt discovery.

On the eve of his 18th birthday, young Andy discovers that everything he believes in - his ethnicity, his family, his upbringing - are lies that have been told to him since birth. These lies lead Andy to South El Monte, where he meets a beautiful dancer, Marcelina, and the community patriarch, Don Miguel, who help him unearth long-buried secrets, propelling him to a poignant revelation about the Latin American diaspora and ultimate acceptance of his true self. In the end, he discovers his family is both flawed and redemptive.
