Teatro Audaz Proudly PresentsMEN ON THE VERGE OF A HIS-PANIC BREAKDOWN: Live Streamed by Guillermo Reyes
Directed by Matthew Byron Cassi & Abe Ramirez
Stage Manager: Devlyn Habib
Performed by Ivan Ortega, Fernando Vieira, and Jai Gonzalez Quintero
Written by Guillermo Reyes, this series of comedic monologues, which the New York Times called "Glorious," 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 being asked to leave the home of his wealthy sugar daddy because he's turned 30; Paco, a Cuban restauranteur 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; the Teacher, a stuffy, sexually repressed English-language instructor who abuses his Latino students when they can't learn properly the "language of Princess Di"; and La Gitana, a drag Flamenco dancer struggling with AIDS as he stages his final performance.
The play ends with Federico's final misadventure as he tells of his newly found romance, a better job and his acquisition of citizenship in a grand, positive finale. "Some of the characters seem to be hanging onto their American existence by a thread, but make no mistake, these are tough, tenacious men."
*4/29 - 5/2 will be live streamed performances.
*5/6 - 5/9 will be scheduled streamed recording of live performance.
