Zoot Suit at Porchlight Music Theatre

In a special arrangement with L.A. Theatre Works, playwright Luis Valdez masterfully uses the Sleepy Lagoon murder case and the unrest in Los Angeles following 12 Latino youths being unjustly convicted by a biased judge to examine the zoot suit culture of the 1940s. Passionate and provocative, Zoot Suit pulses with the beat of big band music and traditional Latin songs.
