The Theatre of Luis Valdez focuses on the life and work of American
playwright and director Luis Valdez, probably best known for his
landmark 1979 play Zoot Suit - the first play by a Latinx
playwright to appear on Broadway - and founder of El Teatro
Campesino, the oldest surviving community theatre in the United
States. Built around first-hand discussions of Valdez's work, this
collection gives an in-depth understanding of where 'the godfather
of Chicano theatre' fits in the grand scheme of American drama and
performance. Collaborators Edward James Olmos and Alma Martinez
talk about working with Valdez and El Teatro Campesino; scholar
Leticia Garcia interviews Jorge Huerta, the leading authority on
Chicanx and Latinx theatre on the impact of Valdez work; and Luis
Valdez himself contributes a lecture on all aspects of his craft
from political resistance and the migrant experience to actor
training and dramatic form. A concise and accessible study, 4x45 ||
Luis Valdez is the go-to resource for scholars, students and
theatre practitioners looking for an introduction to this seminal
figure in modern American performance.
