Latin History For Morons
Written By John Leguizamo
Producers Amy Sutton and Gary Chiles
Upcoming March 12-April 4
Max and Rochelle Levit Stage
Overview
Three-thousand years of Latin history in 90 minutes? Piece of cake. Or is it?
“Informative and hysterically funny”—TheWrap
Alarmed that his son is only getting half the story from his Euro-centric history classes, one father launches an audacious, laugh-out-loud bid to cover 3,000 years of Latin and Indigenous history, from ancient pre-Columbian societies to the modern mosaic tapestry that’s come since. Along the way, empires rise and fall, imperial conquests end in revolutions, and this ambitious crash course barrels ahead with breakneck speed. Equal parts historic and satiric, this electrifying one-man comedy originates from a father’s love and shatters the fourth wall to prove that the whole story has never been more urgently needed… or more entertainingly delivered.
