Guillermo Reyes

Openly gay Chicano/Latino dramatist, author, and elite university professor (he/him) who emigrated from Chile to the United States as a child. He graduated with a BA from the University of California, San Diego, and earned his MFA in Playwriting from the University of California, San Diego. A prominent founding member of the Latino Theater Initiative and a resident writer for the Bilingual Foundation of the Arts, he serves as a Professor of Theater and Playwriting at Arizona State University (ASU). He is highly celebrated in modern American drama for writing fiercely satirical, high-camp, and politically radical masterworks—such as Men on the Verge of a His-Panic Breakdown—that blend magical realism, drag aesthetics, and film noir tropes to critique border politics and intersectional queer Latino identities
