I am on the Debate and Forensics Team at my high school and I have seen "The LA LA Awards" performed many times.I love the characters and the script and I plan on performing this piece at a tournament soon.It ROCKS!

Rick Najera--the pioneer of latino comedy
Latin's Anonymous,a collaborative project, was the beginning of Rick Najera's playwriting career culminating with THE PAIN OF THE MACHO, hismost most recent book. In this are signs of the making of a genius in yearsto come-- from his Mexican-American-split-personality character to SEPERATETURF, a sketch on the plight of Puerto Rican and Chicano actors vying forsmall roles. Rick Najera shows that he is a cunning satyrist, dealing withthe world of duel identity. Recently, I had the oppurtunity to view thiswork live at the Victory Gardens Theatre in Chicago. It was as fresh todayas when he created it a few years ago. Insightful, concise, and brave. RickNajera pulls no punches as he deconstructs the Latino experience inAmerica. He takes stereotypes, sets them up, then knocks them down. From anex-member of Menudo, to a border guard in PAIN OF THE MACHO, Rick Najeratakes latinos and shows them to be complex human beings.
