Tickets, which cost $15 per individual and $12 per student and senior, can be purchased at the CSULB theater website.
The play was written by a theatrical ensemble called Culture Clash, which consists of Richard Montoya, Ric Salinas and Herbert Siguenza. Edgar Landa serves as the director.
According to the press release, the play -- set in the 1950s -- does not focus entirely on the Brooklyn Dodgers' move to Los Angeles and takeover of a community, "but rather the pressures of eminent domain and the communist paranoia of 1950s America."

"I love how the script shows both sides of the story," A.J. Pocheco, CSULB sophomore and actor for the play, said. "It [is not about] an attack on anyone...[including] the Dodgers. It shows...what happened and how the people involved reacted to [the Dodgers]."
