After spending a few classes discussing El Teatro Campesino, I decided to take some time to look at the groups website. The site is filled with information on the history of the group, and even goes into a year-by-year look at their major accomplishments. One thing that I found particularly interesting is the types of shows that the group is currently putting on. For example, they are now spreading out into educational programs for little kids. The show is called Basta Basura and it is about spreading awareness of the 3 R's: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. It tells the story of a little girl named Rosa Maria and her trip to the beach.

Another thing that I found interesting was that some of the shows are not necessarily about or feature Mexicans/Mexican-Americans. For example, an upcoming show titled "Victor in Shadow" depicts the story of a Chilean folk singer during a violent period in Chilean history. If anyone is interested in some of the other shows that are being shown this season, here is the link to the website: http://www.elteatrocampesino.com/Season2011/seasonataglance2.html
