Award-winning solo performer Fred Blanco, brings his one-man tour-de-force,
THE STORIES OF CESAR CHAVEZ, to The United Solo Theatre Festival.

This dramatic bilingual portrayal of the civil rights activist and labor leader Cesar Chavez blends fact and fiction to offer a compelling look at the California farm workers' struggle of the 1960's as seen through the eyes of their non-violent leader.

The audience will share Chavez's spiritual journey from farm worker to activist. As imagined by Mr. Blanco, Chavez's 1968 hunger strike leads him to re-examine his past while under the watchful eye of La Virgen de Guadalupe.

Mr. Blanco embodies a compelling host of characters from youthful zoot-suiters and peasant farm workers, to racist teamsters and angry radicals as he gives his audience a glimpse of a man locked in a struggle with his personal demons while fighting for equality.
