Comedy by the troupe Culture Clash about the 1940s and 1950s Chicano community of Chavez Ravine, displaced to make way for the Los Angeles stadium.
Su Teatro is running Chavez Ravine through October 25, a comedy by the troupe Culture Clash and directed by Anthony J. Garcia. It's a story that takes you back to the 1940s and 1950s, before the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles, and focuses on the Chicano community that lived in Chavez Ravine—the neighborhood that was cleared to make room for the stadium that stands there now.
Culture Clash reconstructs that community with humor and brutal honesty. Between the political satire and the same-colored jokes, the play traces the forces that led to the neighborhood's destruction, following a Mexican-American barrio that discovers its land is valued more than its lives, families, and memories. It's billed as "a story not too far from home," and it plays as an L.A. ghost story told through the lens of Denver's Su Teatro.
