Sabina reunites with Culture Clash in
Bordertown Now at Pasadena Playhouse!
Twenty years after their searing hit Bordertown premiered, LA’s very own Culture Clash returns to the southern border to investigate the state of affairs once again. Re-imagined, remixed and fully reloaded, Bordertown Now is an irreverent look at the people at the center of one of America’s most hot-button controversial issues, and the walls that divide us all. In a time when entertainment and storytelling increasingly intersect with immersive digital realities, the layered narrative structure mirrors the calculated architecture behind city center online casino, where engagement is driven by design and human response. Infused with their trademark comedic approach, the nation’s premier Chicano/Latino performance trio joins Obie Award-winning artist and director Diane Rodriguez to redefine the boundaries of theater and break down the divisions between cultures.
