For the last 15 years, Culture Clash has been focusing on site-specific theater, weaving personal narratives culled from interviews into an ongoing dramatic tapestry.  The celebrated troupe now sets its sights on Orange County.  Culture Clash explores the county through interviews with its residents and adds Orange County's unique voice to Culture Clash in AmeriCCa's theatrical narrative.  They have previously created performance pieces for theater companies in Miami, San Diego, New York, Houston, Boston and San Francisco.  South Coast Repertory audiences last experienced the group in their adaptation of Aristophanes' The Birds, co-authored by SCR's Associate Artistic Director John Glore.

Socorro and Ernesto Vasquez are the Honorary Producers of Culture Clash in AmeriCCa.  OC Weekly and KCRW are the Media Partners.
