UCSD COMM 145 (History, Memory, and Popular Culture) Class Tour of the La Jolla Playhouse with Julia Cuppy, Director of Education and Outreach, in front of the Weiss Theater stage set of Kiss My Aztec! The play, which was co-written by John Leguizamo, offers an ‘irreverent’ re-imagining of 16th century Spanish colonization. As such, it presented students the opportunity to examine a relevant popular culture product which overtly interrogates political aspects of hegemonic remembrance. Students were also provided with discounted tickets to the show and were offered extra-credit if they attended and wrote a thoughtful analysis of the piece, including its context and relation to course literature and concepts, and their individual experience engaging with the work and the overall theater-going practice.
