CASA 0101 Theatre Presents Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, June 9 – July 16, 2023, Directed by Corky Dominguez With A Primarily Latino Cast Led by Vance Valencia as Willy Loman
David Reyes (Show Producer for Brown Fist Productions) served as Composer, Lyricist and Producer of Brown Fist Productions first show, Eastside Heartbeats, the fictional story of four young Mexican-American singers who dreamed of becoming Rock and Roll stars, which was presented in association with CASA 0101 Theatre in 2016. Reyes developed an interest in modern classical music in the early 1970’s, and his fascination with the genre led him to study it seriously in college. Because of his dedication to the pursuit of modern classical music, Reyes was awarded a scholarship to study in Europe, where he had the privilege of studying and training with modern masters who changed the course of classical music: Iannis Xenakis and Gyorgy Ligeti at Centre Acante, and at the Darius Milhaud Conservatory in Aix en Provence, France. In Los Angeles, he has worked with other influential composers: the late Dorrance Stalvey, musical Director of LACMA, and Aurelio De La Vega, faculty member emeritus at California State University, Northridge. Reyes produced a three CD set for Rhino Records called “Brown Eyed Soul,” and was Associate Producer for the PBS documentary Chicano Rock. He is co-author for “Land of a Thousand Dances” and co-curator of the exhibit Roots of the Eastside Sound. Reyes has also composer a mini opera entitled, El Circo Anahuac, scored for voices, chamber ensemble and puppetry. --The Hollywood Times
