Richard Salinas and Herbert Siguenza, members of the comedy group Culture Clash, are back with 57 Chevy at the San Diego Repertory Theatre. The play will be available for streaming July 26 through Aug. 15.
The one-man memory play stars Salinas and is co-directed by Siguenza, two co-founders of the famous funny troupe from San Francisco, California. Also co-directing is Sam Woodhouse, San Diego Repertory artistic director.
The play is by multiple Los Angeles Emmy Award-winning writer Cris Franco (My Family, East Los High), who now returns with another political work.
57 Chevy is a baby-boomer comedy entailing the humorous exploration of “double immigrants” who first moved from their homelands in Mexico City into the barrios of the United States and later into the suburbs in search of opportunity, color TV, and the middle-class American Dream. The play is 75-minute long and explores the bicultural-bilingual childhood within a Latino household produces nostalgia for some. For others, it is a work that demonstrates the courage and perseverance of the Latino community to pursue and want better for themselves and their family.
Pay-what-you-can tickets are available here with a suggested price of $35.
