This very special episode of #LOL is part of #Podcasthon, the global charity podcast event! 💪 We are dedicating it to The People’s Theatre, a cause close to Rachel's heart. ❤️ Supporting arts in Washington Heights and Inwood, The People’s Theatre (formerly People’s Theatre Project) makes theatre with and for immigrant communities to build a more just and equitable world.

On this episode of #LatinosOutLoud #RachelLaLoca is on location at The People's Theatre offices UPTOWN BABY! She chats with Founding Executive Artistic Director, Mino Lora who was last a guest on the show back in November of 2020! Hear her many updates, including how she's directing the new play written by another former guest of LOL, Marco Antonio Rodriguez called The Domino Effect. Mino also shares the status of the massive Centro Cultural Inmigrante, slated to open in 2026. This hub for the performing arts will amplify the voices of New York City’s diverse immigrant communities and cultivate work by local artists and arts organizations. This will mark the first dedicated theatre in Washington Heights & Inwood, and the largest Latine-operated theater in New York State. The People’s Theatre will serve 28,000+ audience members and 300+ artists annually.

Rachel also chats with actress, Angela Reynoso on her role in The Domino Effect and a taste of what her impactful character will leave with audiences.

ABOUT THE PLAY

The Domino Effect, written by Dominican American Marco Antonio Rodriguez and directed by Dominican American Mino Lora, offers a moving portrayal of what it means to seek belonging in more ways than one. Premiering this April at A.R.T./New York Theatres, the play explores the triumphs, sacrifices, and resilience of immigrant and queer communities. At a time when rhetoric around immigration is divisive, and LGBTQ+ rights are being erased, this play serves as a unifying force—showcasing how these communities shape the fabric of our city and country.
