In the wake of her divorce, Connie de Dios – the black sheep of the family – is back in her childhood home after being estranged for almost 20 years. But a de Dios doesn't forgive or forget. When Connie’s tough-as-nails father, wayward son, bougie sister with the white doctor boyfriend, and flamboyant favorite aunt all gather to celebrate her glamorously overbearing mother's milestone birthday, what could possibly go wrong? With Santo Niño prayers, karaoke, and chicken adobo, God Will Do The Rest looks at the complicated ways Filipino Americans grapple with their love and duty to family.

  • Previews are an integral part of the theater-making process, allowing directors and playwrights to present their plays to audiences for the first time and identify areas for adjustment. These special performances offer a first look at the play and allow you to be part of each show's creative journey before its official opening. It's worth noting that Previews are priced differently; all previews are available for just $10. We are committed to keeping our Previews at a lower price point to ensure that high-quality live theatre is accessible to as many people as possible.

    Consider attending a Preview and sharing your feedback about the production. You can then return to a performance later in the run to witness how the performance evolves and grows.

  • PREVIEW $10
    THURSDAYS $10
    OPENING NIGHT $75

    ADULT $38

  • Latino Theater Co. is proud to present post-show opportunities for you to engage with the artists, learn more about the work on stage and the theatre itself.

    These informal sessions begin approximately two minutes after the end of the performance and typically last 20-25 minutes.

    Dates: TBA

  • Latino Theater Company is committed to providing full access to patrons with disabilities. Our theatre is ADA accessible and is enabled with the following features.

    A minimum of 3 wheelchair and semi-ambulatory tickets are available throughout this Theater.

    Our theatre has raked seating, with steps to most rows. Most seats are fixed, though there are a limited number of free-standing seats that may be preferable for some patrons.

    Accessible seating is available to those with mobility disabilities who require accessible seating because of their disability, at most price levels. This includes individuals who use wheelchairs, those who use other mobility devices, and people who cannot climb steps or walk long distances because of significant arthritis, or severe respiratory, circulatory, or cardiac conditions. Individuals who, because of their disability, cannot sit in a straight-back chair or those whose service dogs cannot fit under a non-accessible seat or lie safely in the aisle are also permitted to purchase accessible seats.

    Individuals purchasing a ticket for an accessible seat may purchase up to three (3) additional seats for their companions in the same row and that are contiguous with the accessible seat. If contiguous seats have already been sold and are not available, the Latino Theater Co. will offer other seats as close to the accessible seats as possible.

    FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING ACCOMMODATIONS AND SERVICES, PLEASE CALL THE BOX OFFICE AT 213-542-7307 OR EMAIL TICKETS@THELATC.ORG
