This summer at San Diego Repertory Theatre, Ric Salinas is starring in “57 Chevy,” a filmed memory play about a man looking back on his childhood as a “double immigrant.”
First the boy’s family moves from Mexico to culturally diverse East Los Angeles in the 1950s. Then, as their fortunes improve, they migrate again in their 1957 Chevrolet to the mostly White suburbs of the San Fernando Valley.
The humorous solo play about cultural displacement and assimilation was written by L.A. playwright and screenwriter Cris Franco, based on his own immigration story and his relationship with his father. But Salinas said the story could be his own.
