Latin History for Morons brings a powerful comedic narrative to the Oceanside Theatre Company, featuring celebrated comedian Rick Najera, with direction by acclaimed playwright Herbert Sigüenza. Based on John Leguizamo's solo show, this production offers a thought-provoking exploration of 3,000 years of Latin American history while addressing the absence of Latinos in U.S. history books. As a father helps his son with a school project, audiences embark on a dynamic journey through ancient empires and contemporary culture, blending humor with poignant social commentary. This marks the first professional staging of the work outside Leguizamo's national tour, showcasing a fresh interpretation of an urgent narrative.
