"Feisty," "Fiery," "Street-smart" women, and "Smooth," "Suave," "Gangster" men! Join CastAndLoose Live! as we take on all the pigeon-holes and stereotypes facing Latinx actors and characters in film, TV, and theater.

The topic of whitewashing in the media is a hot button item, recently heightened by the controversy surrounding North Shore Music Theatre's casting of Evita. In order to engage this conversation with a night of laughs, groans, music, and advocacy, CastAndLoose and Lauren Villegas of Project Am I Right have teamed up to present: CastAndLoose Live! Not So Buenos Aires.

Based on Lynne Marie Rosenberg's tumbr, CastAndLoose, CastAndLoose Live! features stars of stage and screen reading verbatim from Lynne's collection of offensive, real casting notices. This evening, we will additionally hear the world premiere of pieces written in response to these breakdowns, by playwrights from the Latinx community.

Net proceeds from the evening's performance will go to United We Dream. Come laugh at the problem while funding the solution.

Written and hosted by Lynne Marie Rosenberg (High Maintenance), co-produced by Lauren Villegas (Spamilton), directed by Jenn Haltman (Summertime), and featuring world premieres of original work by Liza Ann Acosta, Matt Barbot, Alex Beech, Hilary Bettis, Diana Burbano, Guadalís Del Carmen, Migdalia Cruz, Kristoffer Diaz, Christina Nieves, and Juan Villa, and more!

Cast to be announced!
