For nineteen years this award-winning trio has been storming America's stages and wowing audiences with their unique blend of hilarious comedy and shrewdly observed social satire. Culture Clash in Americca celebrates the group with four plays - Bordertown, Nuyorican Stories, Mission Magic Mystery Tour and Anthems - all brilliantly comedic and poignant mosaics of life in the USA. Based on interviews with residents of communities across the country, Culture Clash delivers an unforgettable portrait of life in the US and what it means to be American.
Nothing can prepare you for the incredible world of Culture Clash or for their first ever collection of their best. This three-person troupe of writers/performers is unique in the American landscape for its imaginative explorations of contemporary Latino/Chicano culture. Clashing with a society in transition, Culture Clash physicalizes comedy and satire, paying homage to Charlie Chaplin, Lenny Bruce, the Marx Brothers, and Catinflas, using vaudeville as a political weapon. Contents include: The Mission, in which three out-of-work performers from San Francisco's Mission District kidnap Julio Iglesias in a desperate attempt to get nationwide exposure for their act; A Bowl of Beings, which includes the tale of the first Hispanic -- Christopher Columbus's illegitimate son; "Stand and Deliver Pizza", the story of the famous math teacher who recruits young Chicanos to work in his pizza parlor; and Radio Mambo, wherein Culture Clash invades Miami to uncover a stewing pot of ethnicity, creating "a work that's as shrewd, vibrant, and outrageous as Miami itself", according to Time Out New York.
