MISSION
LA TI DO Productions strives to be a premiere community of cultural and artistic diversity and inclusion through music and spoken word collaboration.
VISION
Since 2012, LA TI DO Production’s goal is to reignite the conversation in the artistic community on cabaret performances through productions in the United States in Washington, DC, New York City, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, Austin, Chicago, internationally in Manila, Philippines, and beyond.
The next step is to produce shows and programming specific to the needs of each location to become a hub of artistic collaboration and support in each city’s artistic community.
Created by Don Michael Mendoza and Regie Cabico, LA TI DO made its debut to a full house in Washington, DC on January 23, 2012 at The Black Fox Lounge in Dupont Circle. Since then, LA TI DO became DC's premiere musical theatre cabaret and spoken word series to serve the artistic community.
As of 2022, LA TI DO is a part of its new parent company DMH Mendoza Productions, LLC. On June 9, 2013, the show opened a touring chapter in New York City, made a special appearance at Feinstein’s/54 Below in 2015, and continued to present cabarets on a bi-monthly basis. In 2017, LA TI DO then became LA TI DO Productions and on March 12, 2018, LA TI DO made its west coast premiere at The Three Clubs in Los Angeles. Soon after, the company officially launched in Pittsburgh, PA virtually on June 8, 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
LA TI DO ran limited engagements in Northern Virginia and Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas in 2022 and 2023, respectively, and expanded to The Space LV in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 16, 2023. IN 2024, the company added launches in Manila, Philippines, Austin, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois.
LA TI DO alumni include Broadway veterans, Tony Award and Helen Hayes Award honorees and internationally recognized spoken word artists along with members of the original Broadway cast of Here Lies Love and the American national touring casts of The Sound of Music, The King and I, Miss Saigon, and The Band's Visit.
