Established in 1965, East West Players is the nation’s leading Asian American theatre company for our award-winning productions that blend Eastern and Western movements and culture. In over 50 years of history, East West Players has since premiered more than 228 plays and musicals, along with over 1,000 diverse readings and workshops for actors, writers, and directors.

The Young Lords, a militant, pro-independence, serve-the-people organization, emerged in the US in 1969 as part of the original “Rainbow Coalition” initiated by Chairman Fred Hampton of the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party, and grew quickly in Puerto Rican barrios across the US. In the face of severe repression by the US government, their ranks united people from street organizations, students, Nationalist families and others in struggles for community control, decent housing and health care, other survival issues, and freedom for their homeland. They bequeathed a new generation an indelible revolutionary legacy of resistance, solidarity and internationalism. Come hear from people who participated in and allied with the Young Lords about that vital history and its lessons for today’s decolonization and liberation struggles. We will also commemorate the 11/16 birthday of the late independentista and former political prisoner Lolita Lebron.
