SAN JUAN BAUTISTA – El Teatro Campesino will revive two vintage one-act plays, “Dark Root of a Scream” and “Dos Vatos,” by Ernie Palomino and Ricardo Duran, for a three-week engagement.
El Teatro Campesino chose “Dark Root of a Scream,” not just as a retrospective look at its earlier ‘popular classics,’ but because of its relevancy today.
The work examines the motives that propel young Chicanos to fight on the front lines of war and the subsequent effects on their immediate families and communities.
The comedy “Dos Vatos” is a tale of two common houseflies in their quest to find sustenance and freedom in the violently oppressive environment of a young woman’s studio apartment.
Both works are directed by associate artistic director Lakin Valdez and will open on Thursday and run until Saturday, July 24.
Performance times are Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.
Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for students and seniors, and $8 for children under 12.
El Teatro Campesino is located at 705 Fourth St. in San Juan Bautista. For more information, call (831) 623-2445, or visit www.elteatrocampesino.com.
This production may not appropriate for children under 12.
