Pride Films and Plays celebrates Pride with a 20th Anniversary Production of Guillermo Reyes’ classic one-man show, "Men On The Verge Of A His-Panic Breakdown."
This hilarious collection of monologues features PFP Artistic Associate Nelson Rodriguez directed by Sandra Marquez. Performances are at the Apollo Studio Theater, 2540 N. Lincoln. Tickets are on sale at 773 935 6100.
This series of comedic monologues is as timely today as it was when it premiered in 1994 as it chronicles the lives of various Latino immigrants dealing with transcultural shock of race and gender identity known as the 'Hispanic breakdown.' The play is bracketed by the misadventures of the naive Frederico or 'The Gay Little Immigrant That Could' who arrives in Los Angeles during the first day of the 1992 riots and believes he’s witnessing the filming of another ‘Lethal Weapon’ sequel. Other characters include Vinnie, a kept boy; Edward, a Latino actor passing for Anglo; the Demon Roommate; and a Cuban restaurateur who was imprisoned by the Communists in Cuba for being gay and has now been exiled by his right-wing Miami family for the same reason.
Men On The Verge Of A His-panic Breakdown previews Tuesday and Wednesday June 23 and 24 at 7:30. ($15). The official opening is Thursday, June 25 at 7:30. Press tickets are also available for June 26 and 27. The regular performance schedule is Thursday 7:30, Friday, and Saturday at 7:30 and Sunday 6 pm. Tickets are $20 Thursdays, and $25 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Please note there is no performance on Saturday, July 4. Closing is Sunday, July 26.
