The Central Park Five was originally commissioned and premiered by LBO at Warner Grand Theatre in June of 2019. The full orchestration was commissioned by Detroit Opera, and LBO brought the opera to audiences again in a new production in 2022, directed by J.Ed Araiza at Jordan Auditorium, on the campus of Long Beach’s Jordan High School. Following this second production, Long Beach Opera brought the cast and conductor Anthony Parnther to Silent Zoo Studios in Los Angeles to create the first studio recording of the piece, engineered by Greg Curtis. https://www.longbeachopera.org/central-park-five-album THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE ALBUM by @pablosdesign

Excerpts from the overture, in ACT 1, from
“The Long Walk Home: A Mayan Family’s Journey In Search of Refuge”
by David R. Molina

It was presented at Brava Theater, 2023.
For that version we had:
Pablo Santiago: light design
Michael Daddona: video design
Darren Johnston: trumpet

Sunday, October 26 2025, 7PM, we will present a stripped down, Work In Progress presentation of ACT 2, at Brava Theater Center’s Cabaret Theater, in San Francisco, CA. TICKETS at www.brava.org

Conceived, composed, designed, written & produced by David Molina, “The Long Walk Home” is an audio documentary-concert which shares the epic true story of a Guatemalan Mayan family who fled violence in their homeland, survived a dangerous journey to the USA, narco predators, kidnapping, family separation in U.S. detention centers, their miraculous reunification, and their joy as a professional clown troupe. Act 1 premiered in December 2023, and focused on the father‘s and eldest son’s journey north. Act 2 will share the mother’s and two younger children’s migration north. A quartet of amazing Bay Area musicians will perform a live soundtrack which blends minimalism, jazz, ambient, electronic, and Guatemalan folk music.

“The Long Walk Home” reflects over two years of interviews with La Familia Rodriguez, activists, and lawyers conducted and recorded by Molina and co-edited with social justice theater artist Roberto G. Varea. Together they created an audio script in which the recorded voices provide an impactful, first person, narration to “The Long Walk Home”.

Additional Credits:
Roberto G. Varea: Dramaturgy, Script, Transcriptions, and Translation.
Jennifer Gonzalez: Subtitle Design
Luis Cali: Pre Hispanic Mayan Instruments Design

Musicians:
Jaimeo Brown, Tim DeCillis, Liliana Herrera, Natalie John, & Molina
