The play Zoot Suit by Luis Valdez is specifically about the California Chicano experience—dealing with actual California historical events—and was written by local playwright Luis Valdez from our Central Valley (Delano). Many of the students themselves, as well as their parents and grandparents, have experienced these social issues. Reading such relevant works helps students recognize how theater can touch hearts, bring a community together, and connect us all in a universal way. In addition to being a fascinating and personal subject, the students will have the benefit of both reading a literary work and then putting it on stage: acting, designing, creating sets, lighting, and so much more!
