For more than 20 years, the Latino Theater Company in downtown Los Angeles has offered a free holiday gift to the community: its annual production of "La Virgen de Guadalupe, Dios Inantzin." "The story is the Virgen de Guadalupe appeared to San Juan Diego in the hills of Tepeyac. Part of the significance of the tale is that the Virgen selected San Juan Diego, who was an Indigenous person. Also, Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta used the Virgen de Guadalupe as their banner," Fernandez explained. Sal Lopez, who plays Juan Diego in the show, explained why audiences return to the show every season.
