Broadway Show: John Leguizamo's Latin History for Morons

at the National Theatre Thursday, Nov. 21 - Saturday, Nov. 23 National Theatre

November 8, 2019

Congratulations Gloria F. for winning the tickets to the show!


Fresh off its Tony-nominated hit Broadway run, Tony  Award winner John Leguizamo’s one-man play LATIN HISTORY FOR MORONS is  inspired by the near total absence of Latinos from his son’s American  history books. Known as modern theatre’s most  prolific Latino playwright, Leguizamo embarks on an outrageously funny,  frenzied search to find a Latin hero for his son’s school history  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 Pitbull  into 110 irreverent and uncensored minutes above and beyond his unique  style. Don’t miss the show The New York Times calls “a surprisingly  poignant one-man play that slyly poses sharp and  timely questions of what culturally defines American identity and who,  in the nationalistic age of Trump, has ‘the right’ to be here.”

 

Recommended for ages 13 and up.

Run time: Approximately 1 hour, 50 minutes, no intermission
