A History Lesson Like No Other

Starring Brian Quijada

Debuting at the Public Theater back in 2017, John Leguizamo's "funny and surprisingly poignant" (New York Times) one-man show transferred to Broadway's Studio 54 the same year, garnering a Tony nomination in the process. Now heading to the Signature Theatre featuring Brian Quijada as part of their 2026-27 season, enjoy this history lesson that taps into what it truly means to be an American.

What is Latin History For Morons about?

Upon finding out that his son's American history syllabus was woefully devoid of Latino history, Leguizamo was inspired to hunt for a Latin American historical figure for a school project. The search resulted in a one-man show that covers 3000 years of Latin American history in 95 raucously funny minutes. From the Aztecs to Ricky Ricardo, from shining moments to marginalisation, Leguizamo's fantastic production leaves no stone unturned.
