2 LGBTQ-themed Latin shows have opened on San Francisco — here’s what you need to know.
In a wonderful bit of theatrical synchronicity, there are two multicharacter Latinx LGBTQ-themed solo shows playing right now in San Francisco. Tina D’Elia is performing “Overlooked Latinas” at The Marsh performance space in the Mission, and Theatre Rhinoceros kicks off its season with Guillermo Reyes’ “Bad Hombres” in the Castro.
D’Elia plays 10 characters in the show. “At one point there’s eight people in a hotel room together running around, as any good farce would have,” she says. “Because of September 11, there were some monologues that were a bit morose and did not seem to fit into the comedic, farcical style of this series of monologues,” Reyes recalls. “And then an actor in Phoenix wanted to do this one-man show, so I took the opportunity in 2019 to do major rewrites. I took out those monologues and created more comedic monologues.”
