The Found Theatre, 599 Long Beach Blvd., will dedicate a special performance of its current show, Fred Blanco’s The Stories of Cesar Chavez, as a fundraiser for its arts partner, Long Beach-based Arts & Services for Disabled (ASD), on Sunday, Oct. 24 at 7pm.
The primary mission of ASD is to provide life-long learning, community service, and career opportunities through the creative arts for people with disabilities in an environment of warmth, encouragement and respect. The group offers full-time arts programming for adults with developmental disabilities at four program sites in the South Bay area. One-hundred percent of proceeds from ticket and refreshment sales will go to ASD.
The Stories of Cesar Chavez, written and performed by Fred Blanco, is a dramatic look at the real-life civil-rights leader as he builds a union and creates a movement through his philosophy of peace and hope. Historically accurate and as timely as today’s headlines, Blanco’s one-man show returns to The Found after a critically acclaimed national tour, during which it was named “Best of the San Francisco Fringe Festival 2010.”
Tickets for the fundraiser are $25. Call (562) 433-3363 or email info@foundtheatre.org.
