The Public Theater has added three performances of John Leguizamo: Latin History for Morons, which opened Off-Broadway March 27 to positive reviews from critics. In his newest solo show, Emmy winner John Leguizamo returns to the stage to trace the marginalization of Latinos in U.S. history and the vital roles they played—from a satirical recap of Aztec and Incan history to stories of Latin patriots in the Revolutionary and Civil War and beyond. The show, which was previously extended, will now play through April 28.
Emmy and Obie Award winner John Leguizamo (Ghetto Klown) is currently schooling America on American Latinos in his new show Latin History for Morons at The Public Theater. His hit show is fully sold out until April 28th.
Inspired by the near total absence of Latinos in his son’s American history class, Leguizamo embarks on a frenzied search to find a Latin hero for his son’s school project. From a mad recap of the Aztec empire to stories of unknown Latin patriots of the Revolutionary War and beyond, Leguizamo breaks down the 3,000 years between the Mayans and Ricky Ricardo into 95 irreverent and uncensored minutes in his trademark style.
Artistic Director of Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Tony Taccone, directs this incendiary new show from one of the most provocatively hilarious satirists in American theater.
