See RICHARD AZURDIA in The Chinese Massacre (Annotated). April 22-May 28!

"Other memorable performances were also delivered by Mr. Azurdia..." - Buzzine

"Actors and roles that stand out are... and Richard Azurdia, who plays many Hispanic characters, but, above all, is the most amusing of the annotators." - SoCal

The Chinese Massacre (Annotated)
A World Premiere by Tom Jacobson
Directed by Jeff Liu

1871 Los Angeles was a violent, vicious town. Suspected criminals were often hanged by vigilante groups and lawlessness had reached its peak. The Chinese Massacre (Annotated) tells the story of the first race riot in Los Angeles and the dangerous Wild West town that became the metropolis we know today.
