EVENTS Chicago's Teatro Luna Presents MACHOS thru Dec. 16
Men. Women. Women dressed as men. Teatro Luna, Chicago's All-Latina Theater Company, announces the world premiere of MACHOS, an interview based play about contemporary masculinities. In 2006, frustrated with our boyfriends, brothers, and bosses, our company of Latina women set out to answer the question: what are men really thinking? The result is MACHOS, a performance drawn from interviews with 50 men nationwide and performed by an all-Latina cast in drag. From a young man's relationship with his correctional officer father to a man cheating on his wife with himself to an epic confrontation between fraternity brothers, MACHOS presents a range of true-life stories with Teatro Luna's trademark humor and unique Latina point of view. 1105 W Chicago Ave Chicago, Il 60622.
