This one-of-a-kind musical tells the story of Cesar E. Chavez, one of the most influential civil rights leaders of our time and a crusader for non-violent change. It traces Cesar’s life from his childhood, as the son of migrant farm workers in the Great Depression, through his founding of the farm workers union and his commitment to the non-violent struggle for social and economic justice. The musical focuses primarily on the five-year nationwide grape boycott. For more information visit http://www.LetTheEagleFly.com.
