News Culture Clash's Zorro in Hell to Reach Los Angeles in July Zorro in Hell, the new work about the legendary Latin hero, will ride into Los Angeles at the Ricardo Montalbán Theatre this summer.

Tony Taccone — who staged the co-world premiere at Berkeley Repertory Theatre and the La Jolla Playhouse — returns to direct the run at the Hollywood stage. Previews will begin July 11, and the show will open July 18 for a six-week run through Aug. 19.

Written and performed by the performance troupe of Richard Montoya, Ric Salinas and Herbert Siguenza (Culture Clash in AmeriCCa), Zorro in Hell offers a "Latin look behind the mask of this mainstream icon" as he "rides out of the pages of pulp fiction, through the Hollywood image machine and beyond the barriers of class, race and ethnicity to become a hero for the oppressed in every land," as production notes reveal.

The cast also features Sharon Lockwood (The Alchemist) and Yusef Kamal (Homebody/Kabul). Vincent Montoya (The Birds) provides original music for the production.

The design team includes Christopher Acebo (scenic), Christal Weatherly (costume), Alexander V. Nichols (lighting) and Robbin E. Broad (sound). The stage manager is Kimberly Mark Webb.

Director Taccone serves as the artistic director for Berkeley Rep and has staged Sarah Jones' Bridge & Tunnel as well as Tony Kushner and Maurice Sendak's Brundibar. Tickets to Zorro in Hell at the Ricardo Montalbán Theatre, 1615 Vine St. in Hollywood, CA are available by calling (877) EL-ZORRO (359-6776) or online at cultureclash.com
