'The Salvi Chronicles'

About The Salvi Chronicles

Written, directed, and performed by Ric Salinas and Herbert Siguenza (two thirds of powerhouse Latino/Chicano performance trio Culture Clash), The Salvi Chronicles introduces audiences to the culture, cuisine, history, and social contributions of the second largest Latinx group in Los Angeles. Blending sketch comedy, commentary, and interviews, the two renowned performers trace the Salvadoran experience from the Mayans of Cuscatlan to the Angelenos of MacArthur Park. Along the way, Ric and Herbert follow the Salvadoran diaspora throughout the United States and dive deeper into their own personal connections to the country and cultural traditions of El Salvador.

The composer for The Salvi Chronicles is Freddy Lanuza, Dennis Mendez is the editor, and the production coordinator is Michelle Blair. Tyrone Davis is Center Theatre Group’s Associate Artistic Director on The Salvi Chronicles and the Zerote Brothers are producers.
