ALWAYS & FOREVER Michael Patrick Spiller’s comedy follows the travails of a young L.A.-tina during the run-up to her quinceañera. It is about many other things too — and that’s its big problem. An overly ambitious project that tries to examine the adulation surrounding the late singer Adan “Chalino” Sanchez, as well as botanica spiritualism, Chicano nationalism and several romantic subplots, the play winds up tripping over its own best intentions, even as it offers some cleverly observed moments. Guillermo Avilés-Rodríguez has assembled a spare but smart-looking production highlighted by set designer Chris Kuhl’s use of photographic screens.
