Visit Signature Theatre to see Latin History For Morons! A hilarious in-your-face show about pride and heritage featuring Emmy nominated Brian Quijada and written by comedic legend John Leguizamo. After his son experiences racially motivated bullying, “Professor” John sets out to teach real Latin history – what they didn’t teach you in school. His chaotic, revelatory and ribald lecture spans the Americas, from the Mayan pyramids through the conquistador destruction through Latine contributions in the United States. However, when things get worse for his son at school, John flails as he desperately tries to connect with his child and culture. With a chalkboard, some props and unapologetic physical comedy, this energetic and playful tour-de-force bolsters pride as it challenges preconceptions of what it means to be American.
