A timeless tale of turmoil in 1940s Los Angeles
Written by Luis Valdez, Zoot Suit spins a captivating tale of gang wars and racial tensions in Los Angeles during World War II. Henry Reyna, leader of the 38^th Street Gang, enters a tangled world of violence and racism when his gang is blamed for the death of a young man at a party. In the resulting backlash, Henry and twenty-one other 38^th Street Gang members are found guilty of the murder and are sent to San Quentin to serve life sentences. While George Shearer, the gang's lawyer, struggles to clear their names, Los Angeles erupts into violence. During the Zoot Suit Riots, Henry's brother Rudy is attacked because of his Chicano identity. Zoot Suit's poignant ending reminds theater-goers of the importance of fighting discrimination and celebrating diversity of voices in art.
