La Banda (week 1 of The Hispanic Heritage Show!)

The Hispanic Heritage Show is a Celebration of Hispanic Culture Told in a Variety of Fantástico Ways!
Every show is a completely different improv comedy format!
This week’s format is “La Banda”, a biopic about a fictional musician in the style of musician biopics (like “La Bamba”). What were they like before they were famous? What was their rise to fame like? What will be their downfall?
The Hispanic Heritage show is the led by award-winning director Jess Leal von Schramm who was inspired to create this show to show the breadth and scope of her culture.
“I want the audience to feel like the Hispanic culture is limitless,” says Leal von Schramm. “We come in all different shapes and sizes and can do anything! We aren’t a stereotype. We aren’t in a box. We are everything!”
This talented cast will take on “La Banda” (a biopic about a made up musician!), then “Los Buddy Cops” (a 70s crime-fighting romp), then last year’s award-winning hit show “The Selena Sing-A-Long” and we finish up the Hispanic Heritage Show with My Killer Quinceañera (a quinceañera fights vampires! demons! more!)!
“I’m excited about showcasing the Latin culture in a way audiences may not have seen in improv shows,” says director Leal von Schramm. “Each show has their own genre, their own style, their own format. Each are so different but all are rooted in the Latino culture. I can’t wait for audiences to see what we come up with week after week!”
