Was taken to see "Learn to be Latina" as a pre-birthday gift, and was pleasantly surprised that there was a theatre culture in phoenix!
If you are not from Tempe (we were not) and if your GPS makes you go in circles, make sure you have a back up of mapquest available, because this place was a doosey to find. It could have been the fact that every street was closed due to the festival...but who knew there was a festival :)
Also, don't ask anyone that works at PF Changs for directions because they told us we were 3 miles away, when we were literally 1 street and a corner away.
Anyhow, the seating was general, and since we got there late due to being lost in a 2 block radius for 45 minutes, we sat in the second to last row by the railing, which I must say are not terrible seats by any stretch of the imagination.
There was unfortunately someone behind me who laughed extremely loud even when things were not funny, I daresay he must have gotten some stares because the second half of the show, either he didn't come back or he caught a frog in his throat.
When the director opens the play with, "if you are easily offended, you should probably leave now", you should listen.
I am not easily offended, and I was offended, lol, but it was all in jest and the play was written by a latino writer, so I tried to remember that whenever there were some offensive parts.
I must say, the play was an equal opportunity offender...they even made reference to 9/11 which left me with my jaw hanging, but again...they gave fair warning :)
All in all a good experience, can't wait to visit again...hopefully we won't get lost this time :)
