Based on a famous Filipino short story, The Romance of Magno Rubio tells the tale of a love struck migrant worker in 1930s California. Using clever word play, rhymes, rhythms, and Philippine love songs, it reveals the daily struggles, hopes and dreams of migrant workers in an OBIE award-winning adaptation that crackles with energy and theatricality. Show Business Weekly calls it, “A powerful blend of song, spoken word, and percussive movement… unfolds in a cascade of music, emotion and inventive theatrics.” Three performances in English and two in Tagalog each week, Nov. 4 – Dec. 11 at [Inside] the Ford, 2580 Cahuenga Blvd. East, Hollywood, CA 90068; $12-$25; (323) 461-3673 (GO 1-FORD); www.FordTheatres.org
