Table of Contents
On My Block is about four teens who share a strong bond in a community where gunfire can be heard every day. They are Monse (Sierra Capri), Jamal (Brett Gray), Cesar (Diego Tinoco) and Ruby (Jason Genao).
Despite their rough South Central stomping grounds, the quartet is able to find tenderness in each other. The quartet also relies on one another for support in dealing with the high school challenges.
With a slew of high-octane shenanigans, the series mixes melodrama, uplift and some dark comedy in a way that feels like a cross between Cooley High and The Goonies. It’s often a little disorienting, but the show eventually settles into its own identity.
The group is in their final year at high school. Season 4 takes place on May 4, 2014. Ruby and Jasmine have reached their highest level of relationship, Jamal is the star football player, Monse attends boarding school, and Oscar (Julio Macias), is focused on Cesar’s escape from gang life. The group’s anxiety is heightened after the authorities discovered the body of Cuchillos (crime boss) who was at the heart of their troubles.

Jose Luis Valenzuela has assembled this epic trio, which was previously performed by Latino Theater Company separately in 2011 and 2012. Part I’s FAITH begins in 1915 as young Esperanza and Silvestri leave Mexico devastated by revolution for Arizona, while Part II’s HOPE picks up during JFK’s presidential reign and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Part III’s CHARITY skitters forward to 2005 Los Angeles after the invasion of Iraq. The three sections can be seen together or in a single evening. Box dinners are also available.
