DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the entire UCSC community\n\nPlease join us in welcoming 
 to our campus Los Angeles-based playwright Ricardo A. Bracho and his vital 
 new work, Puto.  Set five years in the future in a parallel reality, Puto 
 is a sexy sci-fi which confronts some of California's most pressing social 
 concerns:  prisons, immigration, industrial farming and the failing economy 
 within the context of queer Latina/o militant activism, romance and art 
 practice.\n\nRicardo A. Bracho is an award-winning nationally recognized 
 playwright whose works have been produced in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and 
 New York.  He was 2004-5 Visiting Artist/Scholar in Residence at the Center 
 for Chicano Studies at UC Santa Barbara where he completed Mexican 
 Psychotic, a silent play with projected text on the life and art of 
 outsider artist Martin Ramirez, a work he began while participating in the 
 Resident Artists' Program of the world famous avant-garde troupe, Mabou 
 Mines.  His other works for the stage include The Sweetest Hangover, Sissy, 
 A to B and Querido.  He has also been a lifelong organizer of glbt youth, 
 Latina/o urban high-risk populations, queer people of color, incarcerated 
 men and community-based arts and public health programs.\n\nFor this staged 
 reading, which Bracho will also direct, we have assembled a top-notch cast 
 of San Francisco and Los Angeles actors: Sean San Jose, Catherine 
 Castellanos, Xavi Moreno, Mariella Saba and Ricky Saenz.  Not only are 
 these some of California's leading Latina/o stage interpreters of new work, 
 they are also connected to some of the most historic and forward-vision 
 theaters in California: San Francisco's Campo Santo, the resident theater 
 company of Intersection for the Arts, California's oldest literary 
 non-profit; Company of Angels, Los Angeles' oldest repertory theater 
 company which just celebrated its 50th anniversary; and Teatro East of the 
 River, a youth-founded and focused company which combines theater and 
 community organizing to produce plays of, for  \nand by East Los Angeles 
 residents.\nThe visual artist and writer Dino Dinco will serve as Narrator 
 and his fine art and fashion photography will be projected to visually 
 punctuate and create transitions between scenes.  The play will be followed 
 with a discussion with the playwright and a reception.\n\nWe look forward 
 to your presence at this powerful presentation. For more information or for 
 accommodations contact Tam Welch and Toro Castaño  at 831-459-2468 or
