Emmy-nominated sketch group The Latino Comedy Project presents a hilarious comedy event set “not long ago, in a barrio just around the way”
This year, celebrate May The Fourth and Cinco De Mayo with Emmy-nominated sketch group The Latino Comedy Project in a comedy fiesta set “not long ago, in a barrio just around the way…”
In ¡Estar Guars!: A May The Fourth/Cinco De Mayo Comedy Fiesta, The Latino Comedy Project asks the question: What would Star Wars have looked like if George Lucas had been JORGE Lucas? This is not your fanboy’s Star Wars.
In a loving homage of live comedy, original videos and visual spectacle, ¡Estar Guars! re-creates the classic sci-fi rebellion as a modern-day Resistencia, complete with Galactic Walls, space chanclas, migrant moisture farmers, fearless princesas, mystical abuelas and the targeting of Sanctuary Planetas by an evil empire determined to MAGGA (Make A Galaxy Great Again). They’re all here: Luke, La Princesa Leia Organa-Cortez, Tio Juan Kenobi, Yola, R2#Me2, Darth Vendido, ICE Troopers and more!
In an encore of its popular first sold-out run, ¡Estar Guars! promises a one-of-a-kind live multimedia comedy show full of high adventure, swashbuckling duels, and adorable furry brown creatures speaking in exotic alien tongues – like Spanglish! (This show is performed mostly in English with some Spanglish and is rated PG-13.)
Online advance ticketing is $25 and $28 at the door. Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more. Inquire at lcp@lcp.org.
