This is an exceptionally powerful production: beautifully written and movingly performed. If you see nothing else at the Fringe, see The Stories of Cesar Chavez. The performance forcefully reminds us or teaches us why Cesar Chavez truly deserves his reputation as an icon of American history. He was a true working class hero and Fred Blanco makes him very real. Dont miss it!

Honestly, if you dont include this show on your Fringe schedule, youre missing out on a beautiful theatre experience. Freds passion for the subject and his acting ability shine! If you know about the genius & heart of Cesar Chavez, go learn more. If you dont know about one of the greatest civil rights leaders of our time, go educate yourself. This is a must-see!

If you were too young to have lived thru the migrant farmworkser protests for improved working conditions and salaries or you just dont remember this part of American history, then dont miss this one act, one man show! Mr Blanco did an excellent job of not only protraying Chavez but also all the characters, in this energy emotion packed hour. He switched back and forth between Englsh and Spanish flawlessly. The play is extremely well written and acted and deserved a better venue and performance

An incredibly beautiful piece. Well written, strong characters and such pure emotion. This is a piece all of Boulder NEEDS to see. The way that Fred shows the plight of all of these people effected by Chavezs work and perseverance reminds us that we shouldnt take our freedom for granted. The piece embodies the truth that when anyone is oppressed we are all oppressed but that there is always... always hope. Top notch MUST-SEE show. GO SEE THIS SHOW.

Fred Blancos one-man portrayal of César Chavez at a spiritual juncture is intimate and moving. I very much recommend the show--Fred does great work in both script and performance of conveying what it was that made Chavez an inspiring leader.

One of the best the Fringe had to offer this year. Great acting, pacing, lighting, and props, not to mention a compelling story.
 
SaL  5 Stars!
A highlight of this festival! Vignettes portray the life, work and personality of Chavez as told by those who knew, esteemed or opposed him. Blanco dons each personality convincingly to tell Chavez legacy with admiration yet without fawning.
