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-age CAP participants. 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.

MUSIC: CalArts guitarists perform traditional and original compositions for acoustic and electric guitars.

CAP: Join us as we celebrate CAP’s 18th birthday! We will be salsa dancing to the music of the CalArts Latin Jazz Ensemble led by master pianist and CalArts School of Music faculty David Roitstein. Plaza de la Raza is located at 3540 North Mission Road in Los Angeles. This event is free and open to the public.
