Cristela Alonzo DATE: Wednesday, October 30 TIME: 7:30pm VENUE: KPCC’s Crawford Family Forum, 474 S. Raymond Ave., Pasadena
Comedian Cristela Alonzo makes history. The first Latina to create, write, and star in a network sitcom (the eponymous Cristela), she was also the first Latina in a Disney Pixar movie (Cars 3). In addition to her entertainment bona fides, she’s an outspoken advocate on issues impacting lower-income communities. She visits KPCC for a special evening of comedy inspired by her new memoir. The Frame’s John Horn will join her for a post-set conversation. Tickets: $15; $35 includes a copy of Music to My Ears: A Memoir of Growing Up and Standing Up. A limited number of FREE books and tickets will be available to Claremont College students on a first-come, first-served basis. Please contact Scripps Presents about availability by emailing events@scrippscollege.edu. Presented in partnership with KPCC, Southern California Public Radio, and Chicano Latino Student Affairs.
