PRIETO (San Jose)

Chicago Shakespeare and the Chicago Latino Theater Alliance (CLATA) co-present Prieto, an autobiographical coming-of-age story written and performed by Yosimar Reyes. Reyes gives a playful performance as his younger self in this defiant and joyful celebration of self-discovery, taking audiences on a journey through his childhood growing up queer with an overprotective grandmother in the ‘hood of East San Jose. Against a backdrop of poverty and politics, Reyes comes to understand the complex intersection of his queerness and identity as an undocumented American, navigating topics typically entrenched in struggle with levity.
