Summary

To open the mainstage theatre in the School of Dramatic Arts’ new home, we are proud to present: Chavez Ravine: An L.A. Ghost Story. This biting comedy focuses on Los Angeles’ most contested piece of land, the thriving community that resided there, the forces that led to its destruction after an affordable housing project was tanked due to the Red Scare of the 1950s and the eventual sale of the land to the Brooklyn Dodgers when they were looking to make a move West. Written and originally performed by the legendary Chicano performance trio Culture Clash (Richard Montoya, Ric Salinas and Herbert Siguenza), this hilarious and poignant ghost story honors the pasts that continue to haunt the City of Angels.
