October 20th through 22nd, 2023.
Get a first look at Prieto ahead of a run at Chicago Shakespeare Theater. A cultural high point of our city’s Latino Heritage Month, the Chicago International Latino Theater Festival Destinos showcases Latino theater artists and companies from Chicago, the U.S., and Latin America.
A partner since the festival’s inception, Chicago Shakespeare joins Chicago Latino Theater Alliance in presenting Prieto, an autobiographical coming-of-age story, written and performed by Yosimar Reyes.
In a playful performance as his younger self, Reyes gives audiences a glimpse into his childhood in East San Jose as he comes to understand the complex intersection of his queerness and his identity as an undocumented American.
Against a backdrop of poverty and politics, Reyes navigates topics typically entrenched in struggle with levity—in search of truth, clarity, and above all, joy.
Prieto is a co-production with Chicago Shakespeare Theater and Chicago Latino Theater Alliance.
October 20 - 22, 2023 in the theater Upstairs at Chicago Shakespeare written and performed by Yosimar Reyes directed by Kat Evasco and Sean San José produced by the Living Word Project
