The Fullerton Public Library and the Cal State Fullerton Chicano Studies Department have allowed OC Weekly Managing Editor Gustavo Arellano to create a “lecture series” for 2011. It follows up on successful events late last year featuring cartoonista Lalo Alcaraz and the Fullerton civil rights housing case of Alex Bernal. Given that, the award-winning Breath of Fire Latina Theater Company is happy to be the first installment in what Arellano’s Facebook minions have declared by vote to be titled “Gustavo’s Awesome Lecture Series.”
This Thursday, there will be an excerpt reading from the company’s seminal work “The Mexican OC” which charts in a hilarious and enlightening way the hidden history of Mexican people and their contributions in our County. The first staging of the play took place in 2006, so this event also begins the celebration of “The Mexican OC’s” fifth anniversary. Following the reading, folks will hear a Q&A between Breath of Fire members and Cal State Fullerton’s Drama Professor Melissa Hidalgo.
Oh and did I mention all of this is for FREE! The date is this Thursday. The time is 6:30 p.m. The place is the Fullerton Public Library’s Hunt Branch. Why the Hunt? FPL’s main branch is being demolished, remodeled and expanded as we speak, so this event will be the only one in the lecture series to take place away from there for the time being. It can be a bit tricky to get to, but I provide a snap shot of this map (courtesy of the Fullerton Observer)

Well of course it’s free.
rent, however, for the theater company’s space isn’t.
Well, they won’t be paying the rent anytime soon with Gustavo putting things together for his 9 fans (10 if we include you, which I’m sure you’d insist on).
Be nice.
Right Steve, Gustavo is SO unsuccessful. Get over your Gustavo hardon, and give us a new blockbuster Skywalker post!
Vern: You, I and everyone who matters know Steve is just a pathetic, aggrieved malcontent, so let him spew his stupidities–no way to ever have a political future!
Steve: I probably have four fans, but we drew about 50 people tonight. Sucks to be you and your pettiness!
All of six racist’s will be there I bet… maybe a little more from Fullerton Chicano rubbish studies!
Yawn!
Luke: Rent is taken care of, your concerns aside.
Btw, I was wearing a “Mexican OC” shirt when I last met the Queen Bee. Sanchez said “Mexican OC” I like that 😉
Chicano studies…Another word for BS in the classroom! And OMG, have you seen the product of these Chicano studies?
What is that nasty, racist chicks name who organized the Anti-Thanksgiving event at the Mexico Centre?
See you there, Gabriel! Thanks for posting on your blog! Especially the map.
OOO – that makes ELEVEN fans.

The blabbering of Know Nothings only serves to motivate! Please, keep it coming 🙂
We don’t want to know anything, we have chicano studies up the yin yang!
We are just expressing our views on the racist element that goes to these stupid events…. Like a brown pride movement with white hoods!
Pasty people are sick and tired of the tan bitch and moan!
And really, its like asking Ian Paisley to come and speak about the British Crown! It’s all about adoration without the glaring fact that they suck!
Someday…maybe…you’ll wake up and realize that all you do is bitch and moan!
