Fighting Shadows is a passionate and poignant one-man show celebrating the power of human redemption and transformation.

FIGHTING SHADOWS is the true story of one man’s search for love in a world meant for breaking, not bending. A brutal, truthful account of Emmy-nominated actor Richard Cabral’s early life as a notorious gang member in East LA, Fighting Shadows follows his life-affirming transformation out of the shadows of gangs, prison, and violence, and into a new world of family, art, and love. Armed with only his own tremendous will and the good work of Homeboy Industries and Father Greg Boyle, Richard’s story illustrates the possibilities of marginalized lives to reclaim spirit through poetry, music, and raw storytelling.

Director: Diane Rodriguez
Set Design by: Efren Delgadillo Jr.
Lighting Design by: Tom Grond

Sound Design by: Luis Guerra
