Broadway-Bound One Man Show

The multi-talented John Leguizamo brings his latest one man show to the La Jolla. Billed as a workshop, Latin History for Dummies will be honed in front of San Diego audiences in preparation for an Off-Broadway run in 2017. The show sees Leguizamo lead you through a very different kind of history class, exploring the hugely influential latinos who are too often left out of history books. Touching on everything from the Incan Empire to the forgotten heroes of WWII, this is a hilarious and biting schooling you're never gonna forget!
