Performers from Youth Onstage! and the City Lights Youth Theatre come together under the direction of Robert McIntosh, artistic director of City Lights, to create an ambitious theatrical production and engage an iconic American novel, John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, a masterpiece about injustice and the dignity, decency and common struggles of ordinary people.

The story of the Joad family's forced eviction from their Oklahoma farm to become migrant laborers during the Great Depression is told through this Tony Award-winning adaptation by Frank Galati.

The show runs for two weeks from March 12th through the 21st with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. and Thursday, March 18th at 7:00 p.m.  For more information go to Castillo Theatre and to purchase your tickets click on BUY TICKETS.
