Zoot Suit: A New American Play by Luiz ValdezJohn Follis, designer; Ignacio Gomez, illustrator.Los Angeles: Aquarius Theatre / Center Theatre Group / Mark Taper Forum, 1978. Offset. 22 x 14 in. Pinholes, bumping, and chipping to corners; image clean.Poster promoting a production of Luiz Valdez' play Zoot Suit, a landmark play in the history of Latino theater.Zoot Suit takes place during the calamitous 1943 event called the Los Angeles Zoot Suit Riots (in which young Latino men were assaulted). Ever since its first productions, the play remains a high point in theatrical representation of 20th century California history. The play, written and directed by Luis Valdez, had its world premiere at the Mark Taper Forum for a ten-day run, April 20-30, 1978. That initial run was an enormous success, selling out in two days, with each performance given to very enthusiastic audiences composed of Taper ticket holders as well as many Mexican-Americans.It was immediately obvious that this play about the riots and their aftermath really spoke to the Latino theater-going public. In time, the play has come to be regarded as a landmark in the history of Latino theater. After its initial run, the play was revived in August, 1978, for an equally successful — but much more extended — run, and this poster was created for that engagement.Condition as described in catalogue note.
