When their catcalling and jokes draw complaints from the yoga studio next door, instructor Juli\u00e1n invites them to try a class. Soon, they’re forced to reexamine everything they think they know about strength and flexibility. From Tony Meneses<\/a> (El Borracho), The Hombres is a funny and deeply human look at machismo, friendship and the quiet bonds that form when men open their chakras and let their guard down.<\/p>\n “The Hombres is a deeply absorbing and genuinely humane play that tells a story of friendship, masculinity, and unexpected transformation,” said Erna Finci Viterbi<\/a> Artistic Director Barry Edelstein<\/a>. “Playwright Tony Meneses<\/a> returns to the Globe with this award-winning and critically acclaimed play, which examines with great humor and heart the bravado that binds men together and the surprising vulnerability that so often rests just beneath its surface. Brought vividly to life by director and Globe favorite James V\u00e1squez and a gifted company of actors and designers, the play is a warm, funny, and moving evening in the theatre, and I’m thrilled for San Diego audiences to experience it.”<\/p>\n The cast of The Hombres includes Jonny Beauchamp<\/a> (ABC’s “Will Trent,” ReVision Theatre’s Spring Awakening) as Juli\u00e1n, Robert Lenzi<\/a> (Broadway’s Tina: The Tina Turner<\/a> Musical) as Miles, Jesse J.
