Quick-change performing artist Villegas portrays the show's six outrageous characters, a vivid and instantly recognizable collection of individuals ranging from an impetuous 19 year-old "gangsta-vato" to a feisty 75 year-old Tejano World War II veteran. In addition to the stage performance, "Six Mexicans'" monologues are linked together by a cleverly edited series of film and video clips illustrating the notorious history of Latino stereotypes in American TV and films, from Charlton Heston to Cheech and Chong. The show builds to a hilarious surprise appearance from one of pop culture's most famous "Gonzalezes". Bursting with more than its share of delightful character revelations and comic surprises, the rambunctious "Six Mexicans Named Gonzalez" is indeed a "comedy of ethnic proportions."
"Funny, often biting
Six Mexicans not only entertains but
offers an important dialogue about race, Hollywood and stereotypes
providing
laughter as well as food for thought."
