The critically acclaimed hit theatrical comedy, Latinologues, will make its way to the Coronet Theatre in Los Angeles on February 27. After touring the nation to sold-out crowds and standing ovations, famed author, director, actor and playwright, Rick Najera and his all-star cast will take the stage to perform a comedic and eccentric collection of political and satirical monologues about the Latino experience in America.

“Latinologues, like the Latino experience, is always moving and changing,” comments Najera. “We’re excited to be returning to Los Angeles and have a gifted, all-star cast of Latino performers.”

Najera’s well-known and most loved character, Buford Gomez, will provide a comprehensive seminar on how to catch illegal immigrants at the border, while Miss East L.A. will do anything to save her crown and her dignity, while Fidel outsmarts ‘La Migra’ and heads to Puerto Vallarta for free. A compilation of ten unique monologues will be performed live on stage.
