We are only one week away from the Northwest premiere of the award winning play Learn to be Latina by Enrique Urueta, and here at Milagro we could not be more excited! And how could we be, with all the great reviews already associated with this show!
The term ‘explosively funny’ sounds just about right for Enrique Urueta‘s satire — for me, the many laughs came in violent bursts of shock and
delight… Urueta’s play offers an almost indecent number of
quotable lines and marks the emergence of a crazy-impressive comic
talent.
Urueta is, in other words, an extravagantly talented comic playwright — a diabolical satirist who knows how to show audience members a great time while occasionally making them very, very uncomfortable.
Hilariously graphic… crude and rude in a manner that tickles ribs well beyond the comfort zone… pull out all the stops to laugh, dance and wrestle all kinds of identity issues to the ground… the kind of wild romp that stimulates almost as much thought as laughter.
An often screamingly funny show offering a heaping helping of ‘oh no he didn’t’…it’s sure to be a hit.
Controversial yet profound…poignant and original…[Urueta’s] hilarious wordplay [makes] nearly every line quotable.
The humor is so sharp and aggressive…It took a little stroke of genius for Urueta to render the story of a closeted gay relationship in burlesque form…Revels in racial stereotypes and postmodernism.
