Zoot Suit
by Laredo Theatre Guild International
Aug. 10 - Aug. 11
Zoot Suit is based on actual events that took place in 1942 Los Angeles during World War II. A group of young Mexican-Americans, or Chicanos, were rounded up and put on trial for the murder of a rival gang member during a time when public and official prejudice against the Chicano community was exacerbated by the activities of Pachuco youth gangs with their extravagant zoot suits and ducktail haircuts. The trial summed up the bigotry directed against the Mexican-American community at a time when the rest of America was off making the world safe for democracy. The court was so outrageously biased that the conviction was subsequently overturned. Join us in bringing this powerful story to life.
