Latinologues, a collection of monologues about the Latino experience in America, will be the next tenant at the Helen Hayes Theatre. The show is set to play a 12-week limited Broadway engagement from September 13 through December 4.

Latinologues, which has played all across the country, was created and written by Rick Najera, who is a comedy writer with MAD TV, and has In Living Color among his credits. Najera is set to perform in Latinologues along with Eugenio Derbez, Rene Lavan and Shirley A. Rumierk. The group will take on everything from beauty pageants to immigration during the course of the show.

Actor Cheech Marin will direct the Broadway production of Latinologues. An official opening night for the show is set for October 23.

The Helen Hayes is currently home to Jackie Mason: Freshly Squeezed, which will close on September 4.
