American Night:
The Ballad of Juan José

By Richard Montoya

About

Falcon's Eye Theatre brings American Night: The Ballad of Juan José to Stage Two! This laugh-out-loud, irreverent play follows an immigrant, Juan José, who is frantically trying to study for his citizenship exam, when he falls asleep. Over the course of one riotous night, he has a fantastical dream, leading him on a wild journey through American history. Written by Richard Montoya, with a mash-up of historical figures, contemporary characters, and satirical situations, this play provides a fresh and humorous look at the American Dream.
