CAP: This year’s spring production from the CAP/Plaza de la Raza Youth Theater Program is a new drama written by Culture Clash member Herbert Siguenza and staged with a cast of 45 high school students. 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.
These performances are free and open to the public and will take place at the REDCAT Theater located at 631 West 2nd Street in downtown Los Angeles. For reservations please call the REDCAT’s Box Office at (213) 237-2800.
