Latinologues™ is an award winning, nationally recognized collection of comedic and poignant monologues about the Latino experience in America that was created, written, directed and produced for stage by Rick Najera, one of America’s leading comedy writers. Having written for such ground breaking shows as MAD TV and In Living Color, Najera wanted to create a showcase for Latino talent. The idea was first conceived when Najera discovered a hunger for Latino actors to have a showcase, one where they could be seen in comedy.

From headlining on the Las Vegas Strip, to standing ovations and sold out crowds, Latinologues™ has toured the nation and received rave reviews such as ‘Top Pick’, ‘Recommended’ and ‘Critics Choice’ from theater critics nationwide. The show has also received numerous accolades and official commendations from City Mayors and U.S. Senators for its production and was recently awarded an Imagen Award for Best Live Theatrical Production. Each monologue delivered is meant to educate, inspire and most of all make you laugh. The show is and remains to be a true service to the Latino community.

Latinologues™ made its Broadway debut in September 2005 at the legendary Helen Hayes Theatre with an initial 12-week engagement, plus an additional four week extension by popular demand. The Broadway show was directed by the legendary comedian, Cheech Marin, and featured Rick Najera, Eugenio Derbez, Rene Lavan and Shirley A. Rumierk.
