Casa 0101 Theater (Los Angeles, CA)
One of the seminal works in Latino theater, I Don’t Have To Show You No Stinking Badges is a comedic play from writer Luis Valdez, who would later go on to produce Zoot Suit and La Bamba. Set in the L.A. suburb of Monterey Park in the mid-1980s, the story revolves around Sonny, a pre-law student at Harvard who returns home with an older woman and plans that don’t fit his parents’ dreams. Filled with comedic twists and turns, the real message from Valdez is examining imprinted cultural stereotypes and how people must struggle to overcome them. Don’t miss this important work, which is being performed in Los Angeles for the first time in 25 years.
