About show!
Join us for a three night run of Prieto. Comedic, autobiographical, one-man show written and performed by nationally acclaimed poet, Yosimar Reyes.
This new comedy chronicles the journey of a young queer and undocumented immigrant growing up in the hoods of East Side San Jose.
This show aims to humanize and uplift the stories of undocumented immigrants in a time of heightened anti-immigrant sentiments under the Trump Administration.
