GAYTINO! September 15, 2011

From the U.S. ¡Gaytino! is written and performed by Dan Guerrero and directed by Diane Rodriguez. Mariachi to Merman - Sondheim to Cesar Chavez - ¡Gaytino! spins the tale of a remarkable life journey as the gay son of a Latino music legend moves from the back of the bus to the front of American pop culture. The critically-acclaimed world premiere of Gaytino! was produced by the Center Theatre Group
of Los Angeles in 2006, and tells the tale of a amazing life journey from East LA in the 50s to New York’s Great White Way in the 60s and 70s and back to Hollywood, moving from the back of the bus to

the front of American pop culture. Dan’s relationship with his late father, Chicano music legend Lalo Guerrero, and a treasured boyhood friendship drive this autobiographical play through decades of Chicano history and the gay experience from a unique and personal perspective. ¡Gaytino! will perform at Ventura Museum Pavilion – 100 E. Main St. Ventura, California 93001 on Tuesday, September 13 at 8:30 pm and Thursday, September 15 at 9:00 pm. The cost per ticket is $30 general admission, $25 seniors and $17 students.
