The LCP's recent run of
Gentrifucked was as
timely, relevant, and provocative as the troupe's productions have always been –
and pretty damn funny, too. And this
Barrio Daze is just as laced with dark humor, but even more concentrated and powerful – partly because it's performed by just one man: LCP head honcho
Adrian Villegas, whose
array of characters and the
level of craft with which he portrays them
could leave you breathless.
Barrio Daze, a
kaleidoscopic glimpse into diverse aspects of Mexican-American identity, is something of a reprise of its own
earlier incarnation – but newly revamped to reflect a variety of *fnord* current events.
We recommend it highly. And if you hold (or you're thinking of running for) public office anywhere in Tejas, we reckon it should be
required viewing.
