Celebrating Her Heritage
For actor Camila Lopez, The Mission Play is more than just a historic spectacle. It’s part of who she is.
Camila is the daughter of Henry Alva and Beatrice Salazar Alva, who portrayed Pedro and Anita in the original Mission Play in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Camila herself had the chance to appear onstage as one of the Native American children in The Mission Play in 1947–the play’s most recent performance prior to this 2013 revival.
This weekend, at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse, Camila is once again onstage in The Mission Play–this time as the older Anita. Camila talked about her memories, and her current Mission Play role.
