San Jose Stage Company in partnership with El Teatro Campesino kicks off the New Year with the highly-anticipated World Premiere of Valley of the Heart, by internationally renowned playwright, director and producer Luis Valdez. Directed by Valdez, this American love story is deeply rooted in the fertile Santa Clara Valley and runs February 10 through March 6 at San Jose Stage Company. The fight to maintain dignity, identity and family are at the heart of this sweeping epic that illustrates the ironic divide between America's ideals and its actions in what the San Jose Mercury News says is a 'multicultural touchstone,' and the Los Angeles Times says 'We need memory plays as powerful as this one ... a quintessentially California play, written by a master of the genre.'
