Men on the Verge was first performed in Los Angeles in 1994 and won L.A. Ovation awards for Best Production and Best World Premiere. It's also gone on to San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle and New York, where it was staged off-Broadway in 1997. This series of comedic monologues, which the New York Times called "Glorious," chronicles the lives of various Latino immigrants dealing with transcultural shock of race and gender identity known as the "Hispanic breakdown." The play is bracketed by the misadventures of the naive Frederico or "The Gay Little Immigrant That Could" who arrives in Los Angeles during the first day of the 1992 riots and believes he's witnessing the filming of another Lethal Weapon sequel. Other characters include Vinnie, a kept boy being asked to leave the home of his wealthy sugar daddy because he's turned 40 Demon Roommate, an asexual, lonely young man with an apartment a little too close to the airport and a militant father with a penchant for torture Paco, a Cuban restauranteur who was imprisoned by the Communists in Cuba for being gay and has now been exiled by his right-wing Miami family to the ‘culinary desert of Phoenix’ for the same reason Teacher, a stuffy, sexually repressed English-language instructor who abuses his Latino students when they can't learn properly the "language of The Queen" The play ends with Federico's final misadventure as he tells of his newly found romance, a better job and his acquisition of citizenship in a grand, positive finale. Some of the characters seem to be hanging onto their American existence by a thread, but make no mistake, these are tough, tenacious men. Starring: Angel Perez Directed by: Robert Hooker Performance run time: 80 minutes. No intermission. FYI - intended for mature audiences only.
