Roosters centers on the Morales family.  After 7 years in jail for manslaughter, Gallo returns to the roost, disrupting an already stressful home situation.  His main conflict is with his contemplative and questioning son. Hector, who has inherited a prize fighting rooster from his grandfather, wishes to sell the bird to help his family but Gallo wants to get into the cock pit.  Juana, the harried mother is just trying to keep her family happy and Chata, Gallo's overtly sexual sister has stopped in for a visit.  Meanwhile, in a world or her own making, Angela has learned to “blot out unpleasant reality by hiding under the porch”. 
 


Last presented by the GCAC in 1988, this classic of Chicano drama will be returning to the Guadalupe Theater after 20 years. The 24 th Street Players have staged this iconic drama to elevate what has made this play timeless, showing the us that the conflicts in Roosters are ones that are still relevant, if not urgent, to a 21 st century audience.
