One might say that Gustavo Arellano, editor of the OC Weekly, is a Mexican’s Mexican. Through his satirical column, “¡Ask a Mexican!,” Arellano addresses cultural and social issues unique to the Mexican-American experience—often using humor as a wedge to work his way into more serious topics. This Friday, playwright Anthony Garcia will bring Arellano’s ideas and words to the stage with a series of brutally honest readings. Example: “Wow, you’re a special kind of pendejo.” Composer Daniel Valdez, known for his work on the films Zoot Suit and La Bamba, will provide musical accompaniment.
