    CASTING CALL

    El Mangó Incomible

    By Ricardo Pérez GonzálezDirected by Mia Torres Garcia

    Milagro Theatre seeks local Latino/a/e actors for its upcoming production of El Mangó Incomible by Ricardo Pérez González, directed by Mia Torres Garcia.

    Please note: This production will be performed entirely in Spanish. Actors must be fluent in Spanish. Native Spanish speakers or near-native fluency actors of Puerto Rican and Caribbean descent are encouraged to submit. 

    Content Advisory

    El Mangó Incomible contains mature and emotionally demanding subject matter, including generational trauma, childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, illness, death and dying, grief, homophobia, and strong language. This production will be rehearsed in a collaborative, trauma-informed environment, and performers should feel comfortable engaging with this material.

    Character Breakdown

    YINOELLE

    40s | Puerto Rican woman

    The middle sister. Intelligent, charismatic, and quick with a joke, Yinoelle often uses humor to navigate pain. Practical and deeply protective of her own family, she struggles to balance responsibility with a desire to build a different future. Requires strong comedic instincts alongside emotional vulnerability.

    MAMI

    60s–70s | Puerto Rican woman

    Warm, funny, imaginative, and deeply devoted to her family. As she faces the progression of terminal illness, Mami navigates the impossible task of holding her family together while confronting her own mortality. A role requiring warmth, humor, emotional depth, and quiet strength.

    PAPI

    60s–70s | Puerto Rican man

    The family's aging patriarch. Physically frail and largely confined to a wheelchair following illness, his influence over the family remains undeniable. Though his movement is limited, this role demands a commanding stage presence and nuanced physical storytelling. The actor must communicate power, vulnerability, manipulation, and humanity through subtle physical and vocal performance.
