During the 1970s a vibrant Chicano theater movement spread across the United States. Inspired by the success of El Teatro Campesino, dozens of theater companies began performing for Latino audiences in parks, community center, churches and other public venues. One such group was El Teatro Espiritú de Aztlán (The Spirit of Aztlán) based in Fullerton, California. César Flores, the director of this theater company, explains how it was made up of at-risk youth and how the experience changed their lives.

Brother Cesar….
There are only three kinds of people in this world:
1. Those who make things happen,
2. Those who watch things happen,
3. And those who wonder what happened.
I’m blessed you’ve always been the kind of guy that ‘made things happen’… I’ve always admired your love, heart and passion…If I ever had to describe you in one word, that word would have to be “PASSIONATE”..
I Love you brother,
Kyd

I was a part Teatro Espiritu Aztlan back in the late 70's after taking a class in "Teatro" taught by Cesar Flores at Cal State Fullerton. My teatro experience did not lead me into a carrer as an actor; however, I went on to law school and have used my "stage experience" as a lawyer for the past 27 years.
