ONLINE TICKETING: http://www.thelatc.org * * * * * * 1989. The CIA and American forces are determined to capture ruthless Panamanian strong man Manuel Noriega. No longer run by the CIA, he has charted his own path to near-absolute power in his country, and the price of his refusal to obey his handlers is an American invasion. Accused of murder, drug trafficking and corruption, he has sought sanctuary with Vatican emissary Archbishop Jose Sebastian Laboa. But the Archbishop has his own agenda to follow, separate from Noriega's, and the struggle between these two men is the story of Donald Freed's play "The Devils Advocate," based on true events. Robert Beltran portrays Noriega. No stranger to audiences of Latino Theater Company and Los Angeles Theatre Center, he most recently appeared there in its acclaimed production of "Solitude." But he's famed for his film work (especially features directed by the late Paul Bartel) and for his television roles as Jerry Flute on HBO's "Big Love" and as fan favorite Chakotay on "Star Trek: Voyager." Tom Fitzpatrick plays Laboa. He's appeared in 18 films, a dozen television episodes, and in multiple productions at the Evidence Room. Jose Luis Valenzuela directs. The longtime artistic director of Latino Theater Company as well as of Los Angeles Theatre Center, he most recently oversaw the LATC's Ovation-nominated season of excellence, during which he directed "Dementia" and "La Victima." He is also a Professor at UCLA. The prolific playwright Donald Freed is, in the words of the late Studs Terkel, "the most political and pertinent of all American playwrights." The late Harold Pinter called him "a writer of blazing imagination, courage and insight. His work is a unique and fearless marriage of politics and art." Freed was nominated for an Ovation Award this past season for his most recent play "1951-2006." The play received multiple productions in Britain and was workshopped in Burbank. The new production marks its U.S. Premiere as a fully realized main stage production. PHILIP SOKOLOFF Publicity for the theatre P.O.
