Culture Clash 30th Anniversary Tour: Muse & Morros
Culture Clash
For 30 years, Culture Clash has scoured all points of the Nation searching for the American Character through the oral histories of its citizens. From the borders and in the margins, safe houses, streets and the jails of America comes a night of carefully curated voices and true stories of unforgettable people. Funny, heart wrenching and with an unflinching sense of justice, Culture Clash gives voice to the voiceless. Now Ric Salinas, Herbert Siguenza and Richard Montoya return to Boston to tell real stories about real Americans living at the margins who “Can’t Breathe….”.
