"Best
New Theater Troup" [The Best Of OC] 2007
This Santa Ana troupe is unabashedly political, talented and
eager to look under rocks most people would prefer untouched, as
proven by its inaugural production last year of The Mexican
O.C. Culled from interviews with longtime OC residents, the
piece was (and is) a triumphant blend of agitprop and studious
oral history, an uncompromising examination of some of the more
unsavory examples of the prejudice toward migrants that has
existed in this county since long before Proposition 187 and
amnesty marches. Most recently, the troupe staged 9ine
Digits Away From My Dream, another oral-history project
about undocumented students in the United States seeking college
degrees.
