Book Description
Nothing is sacred in the satire of Latins Anonymous. The hilarious Latino comedy theater company has toured the United States poking fun at all, from political figures to Latino entertainment personalities. Formed in 1988 and performing at such mainstream venues as the Los Angeles Theater Center as well as alternative space sin barrios across the Southwest, Latins Anonymous has developed its own distinctive, post-modern and very irreverent style of commenting on life and culture in the U.S. Included in this first published collection are the troupeÕs signature play, Latins Anonymous, which satirizes the rejection of oneÕs cultural heritage and The La La Awards, in which the media are lampooned through outlandish impersonations of favorite Latino stars.

Book Description
Written in Middle English during the Tudor period, "Everyman" is the most famous example of the medieval morality play. Popular in Europe during the 15th and 16th century, morality plays were allegorical dramas in which the protagonists are met with the personifications of personal attributes and tasked with choosing either a good and godly life or evil. "Everyman" is the archetypal morality play, as the main character, Everyman, represents all of mankind. God, frustrated with the wicked and greedy, sends Death to Everyman and summons him to account for his misdeeds and sins. It was believed that God tallied all of one's good and evil deeds in life and then one must provide an accounting before God upon one's death. During Everyman's pilgrimage to God, he meets many characters, such as Fellowship, Good Deeds, and Knowledge. Everyman asks them all to join him in his journey so that he may improve his reckoning before God. In the end, it is only Good Deeds that stays with him before God and helps Everyman find salvation and eternal life. In addition to "Everyman," this volume contains several other morality plays from medieval Europe. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
