  • The Chinese Massacre (Annotated)


    By Tom Jacobson
    Directed by Marya Mazor
  • -none-
  • Based on historical incident, The Chinese Massacre (Annotated) chronicles the first race riot in Los Angeles history, when 19 Chinese men and boys were lynched by a mob of 500 "people from all nations." Resonant with more recent racially motivated Los Angeles civil disturbances (the Zoot Suit Riots, the Watts Riots, the Rodney King insurrection), The Chinese Massacre (Annotated) brings to light the remarkable, culturally diverse 19th-century Wild West town that exploded into today's metropolis.
    This performance will be a fully staged reading performed in conjunction with the Los Angeles History Project.
    Produced by Camille Brown and Nicole Guillen
