A play inspired by El Soldado Razo –the classic work by Luis Valdez that was first performed in 1971 in connection with the Chicano Moratorium antiwar movement—Private Eddie U.S.A. takes a hard look at the impact of the war in Iraq as mourners at a funeral enact scenes from a fallen soldier’s life.
Plaza de la Raza is located at 3540 North Mission Road in Los Angeles. These performances are free and open to the public. Reservations are advised. For reservations please call Plaza de la Raza at (323) 223-2475.
