Stay after the show to enjoy

a reception with the stars of Culture Clash!

 

Change has come in America. And nobody shows us the intimate details of a more perfect union than the Culture Clash trio with their out of the box comedic AND dramatic entertainment. For over two decades this ensemble of writer-actors have practiced the art of theatrical-social anthropology by digging deep into America's culture to formulate their outrageous brand of "performance collage."

 

As in all of their memorable comedic sketches, the characters in AmeriCCa are adapted from real interviews with people from across the U.S. who live radically diverse lives. The troupe's signature use of satire, vaudeville, mime and spoken word dramatizes the voices of the socially invisible and the New Americans, offering a fresh examination of cultures in flux. From Cuban exiles and Haitian immigrants in Miami, to a Puerto Rican political activist in Manhattan, to commies and dot-commers rubbing elbows in San Francisco's Mission District, to expatriates in Tijuana and Ugandan cab drivers in San Diego, these are unforgettable characters who will leave you gasping, laughing and cheering.

WHAT IS SUNDANCE: Sundance is a ceremony carried out by a number of Native American tribes in Turtle Island (The American Continent). This ceremony is one of many important spiritual ceremonies followed by Native Americans though out the year. Each tribe has its own distinct rituals and methods of performing the dance, but many of the ceremonies have features in common, including dancing, singing, praying, drumming, the experience of visions, fasting, and in some cases piercing of the chest, arms or back. The purpose of being pierced is to sacrifice one's self to the Great Spirit (God), and to pray while attached to the Tree of Life, a direct connection to the Great Spirit. The Red Stone/Running Deer Sundance in Casa Blanca, Arizona is held every year in honor and prayer for our Children.

Legacy of the Land Presentation & Signing 

Audrey and Frank Peterman were unfamiliar with the National Park System. As the result of their eventful 12,000 mile cross-country trip through 40 states, they are now considered as 'expert' environmentalists on the public lands system.
 
On February 9, REI will be hosting Audrey Peterman for a presentation and book signing event at the REI store in San Diego. Her presentation promotes the rich heritage of the national parks that includes the Buffalo Soldiers, the Jones Family of Biscayne Bay, and the "Sable Guides" of Mammoth Cave.

Camp Lockett, located in the Milquatay Valley of San Diego County's Campo and in Kumeyaay traditional territory, was home to the Buffalo Soldiers? In 1942, the 10th Cavalry Regiment (the famed Buffalo Soldiers) moved into Camp Lockett to replace the 11th Cavalry Regiment that had been converted into an armored unit. The Buffalo Soldiers were all black, segregated units of the US Army formed after the Civil War for service in the West. Despite second-class treatment, these soldiers made up first-rate regiments of the highest caliber and had the lowest desertion rate in the Army. Often given some of the worst assignments, the Buffalo Soldiers persevered. The 9th and 10th Cavalries developed into two of the most distinguished fighting units in the army. The Buffalo Soldiers are committed to educating our community on African Americans contributions in the United States Military, and to raise the awareness of the Buffalo Soldiers and their important accomplishments, the San Diego Chapter does readings at local schools and organizations, color guard presentations, and participates in community events including parades, western fashion shows, western dances, etc. They sponsor an annual youth college scholarship fund, awarding one or two scholarships to deserving students
