Latino Comedy Project: Estar Guars!
Emmy-nominated sketch troupe the Latino Comedy Project return with their hilarious, thoroughly Mexified sendup of some pinche Jedi shit that happened pretty recently in a barrio just across the tracks. Or, rather, the LCP presents a "loving homage of live comedy, original videos, and visual spectacle, re-creating the classic sci-fi rebellion as a modern-day Resistencia, complete with Galactic Walls, space chanclas, migrant moisture farmers, fearless princesas, mystical abuelas, and the targeting of Sanctuary Planetas by an evil empire determined to MAGGA (Make A Galaxy Great Again)." Did we say "hilarious" earlier? We weren't kidding. Written and directed by Adrian Villegas, brought to spicy space opera life by a talented cast, this show's recommended to make you laugh your asteroids off. Note: Performed mostly in English with some Spanglish.Through May 8. Wed.-Sat., 8pm; Sun., 5pm. $25-28. -
