Latino LA writer Liza Zion begins her latest theater review of a Breath of Fire Theater production by writing:
I drove into Orange County and took the exit that leads me straight through downtown Santa Ana. I saw mi gente pushing baby strollers, waiting for a bus, ordering food at Mexican restaurants. I drove past the bookstore and the bridal shops and found a parking spot right on the corner of Broadway & 5th Streets. I climbed the stairs to the second floor and reached my destination, the Breath of Fire Latina theater.
Will this be the last time that Zion will have the opportunity to climb up those stairs to visit the humble theater space for the purpose of writing about this one-of-a-kind grassroots arts institution nestled in the bustling city of Santa Ana? The title of the article about the current staging of the “Medea Complex,” ominously warns, “Final Play May Be the Last for Breath of Fire Latina Theater.” It doesn’t have to be. As Zion’s subtitle rallies, “Now is the time to help our own if we are to survive.”
