Culture Clash 25th Anniversary October 30, 2009

Culture Clash has been getting under the skin of America for 25 years now. Digging in with searing satire, cutting comedy and biting drama, this premier Latino performance troupe unsparingly—and hilariously—points out the many cracks and chips in the U.S. melting pot. In recent years they've turned their jaundiced anthropological eye on Miami, San Diego, New York and other cities. But for this special anniversary, the boys are back in their hometown for a raucous party with an all-star invitation list: Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine; comedian Carlos Mencia; actors Edward James Olmos, Tony Plana and Lupe Ontiveros; plus other special guests and, as always, East L.A.’s house band Ollin. Audiences will get a sneak peek at the next Culture Clash project, “Palestine, New Mexico,” and Clashers Richard Montoya, Ric Salinas and Herbert Siguenza will also reprise hits from their ever-popular “Chavez Ravine.”
