Our All-Star Program will once again present an original play by Luis Valdez, internationally renown playwright. "Bandido! An American Melodrama", depicts the history of the Old West and the bandits who became legendary, specifically, Monterey native son, Tiburcio Vasquez. In his trademark style of irony, drama, and humor, Valdez presents the contrast between the photographic portraits that documented Vasquez' life and death with the melodramatic stereotype that survives in U.S. history books.
With the guidance of Mr. Valdez, the Guild will work with a cast of all-stars drawn from South County, North County, and the Peninsula to present literature that has historical and cultural relevance for our region.
