'Bad Hombres/Good Wives'
From the event description:
What happens when you mix "The Importance of Being Earnest," "The School for Wives" and a Narco telenovela? You get "Bad Hombres/Good Wives," a hilarious new comedy featuring Herbert Siguenza and Ric Salinas from Culture Clash. Meet Don Ernesto, a muy macho cartel lord of Sinaloa who is used to getting exactly what he wants. In this case, what he wants is Eva — the young woman he sent to a convent to be trained to become his perfect, submissive wife. En route to meet her future husband, Eva bumps into Mario, the dreamboat son of a rival Narco capitán, and her heart leaps. Lust, love and war are in the air.
When: Thursday, Oct. 10 and Saturday, Oct. 12, both at 8 p.m.; and Sunday, Oct. 13, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Where: The Lyceum Stage, 79 Horton Plaza
Price: $26–$55

'Kiss My Aztec!'
From the event description:
Leave it to the pull-no-punches, politically charged mind of John Leguizamo to dream up "Kiss My Aztec!," a fresh, irreverent musical comedy take on the arrival of the conquistadors. Elizabethan dialect collides with modern slang set to a mashup of salsa, hip-hop and funk for this tale of an unlikely pair of Aztecs who mount a scrappy uprising against their Spanish oppressors — and somehow get entangled in the dysfunctional bickering of the Spanish Viceroy’s family. If you loved Leguizamo’s "Latin History for Morons" (nominated for Tony’s Best Play), you won’t want to miss his latest work.
When:, Thursday, Oct. 10, and Friday, Oct. 11, both at 8 p.m.; and Saturday, Oct. 12, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Where: Mandell Weiss Theatre - Jacobs Theatre District, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive
Price: $29–$39
