After touring extensively with his autobiographical solo show ¡Gaytino! Made in America, including performances at The Kennedy Center in DC, award-winning artist, educator and activist Dan Guerrero will bring his critically-acclaimed stage show to the screen via a multi-camera shoot planned for November, 2018 at Guerrero’s alma mater: East L.A. College. Written and performed by Guerrero, the multi-textured performance piece, originally produced by the Center Theatre Group, has been described as a “live stage documentary” because of its historic and educational relevance. The play with music travels through decades of Mexican-American/Chicano history and the gay experience told from Guerrero’s unique personal perspective. Watch ¡Gaytino! on ABC7 Vista L.A.

The son of the late Chicano music icon Lalo Guerrero, Dan wrote ¡Gaytino! Made in America to celebrate his father’s life and legacy as well as that of his life-long boyhood friend the late visual artist Carlos Almaraz. These two extraordinary men were hugely influential in shaping Dan’s unique life. Those treasured relationships share the stage with the universal themes of self-identity, self-acceptance and coming of age.

“I have long wanted to bring ¡Gaytino! Made in America to a wider audience through film festival screenings, broadcast and online platforms,” says Guerrero. And, time is of the essence! I’m not getting any younger! So many Gaymigos wanted to support my dream, they talked me into the world of crowdfunding. It kicked off big time just last week and I’m very appreciative of the response.” Click here to help Dan bring ¡Gaytino! to audiences everywhere.
