In November, 20 YT student playwrights interviewed 4 Chicano activists whose lives were shaped by their participation in the Chicano Moratorium of 1970, a pivotal chapter of L.A. history that has direct cultural relevance to our students.
Students interviewed: key organizer of the Chicano Moratorium Rosalio Muñoz; visual artist and educator Viviana Chamberlin, Director’s Guild Honoree Jesús Treviño, and, installation artist and first Latina Departmental Director for the Los Angeles Local for the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), Consuelo Flores.
After the interviews, one student reflected, "It made me want to teach others what I have learned."
Now our teen playwrights have begun the next phase of their work: writing plays. Join us for their culmination in January at Plaza de la Raza.
