American Night: The Ballad of Juan José, the latest theatrical extravaganza from Culture Clash, the Chicano American performance troupe known for their political and social satire. This fast-paced hodgepodge of sketch comedy and song portrays American history in a gleefully vaudevillian fashion. The action centers on Juan José, who is cramming for his U.S. citizenship test the next day. Over the course of the night, key cultural figures, from Teddy Roosevelt to Bob Dylan, pop in to offer their hilarious brand of help for a surreal journey through the nation's history. Learn More

Written on Jul 11 2012this was our first time at this beautiful site. we took a picnic and sat at a nice table surrounded by eucalyptus trees. we listened to a description of the play that we were going to see. every seat has a great view. the backdrop of the mountains and oak trees add to the ambiance.
we will definitely go again.

Description
The Cal Shakes 2012 season continues with a wild, bluesy wail—three stories by the great Harlem Renaissance writer Zora Neale Hurston, adapted into a staggeringly theatrical play by George C. Wolfe, who won an Obie for its 1989 off-Broadway premiere production. A trio of vignettes of African-American life in the first half of the 20th century, Spunk is a raucous, charming, blues-infused look at love, revenge, jealousy, and the fine art of the hustle.
AGE RECOMMENDATION: Spunk contains mature subject matter and is best enjoyed by ages 13+. See the "Age Recomendation" information for more details.
Running time: 90 minutes, no intermission
