Men Are Real, the collection of sexually charged monologues from an all-Latino cast, will return Off-Broadway to the Theaters at 45 Bleecker Nov. 7.

Following an engagement last summer, Men Are Real will play Friday nights at 10 PM. Tickets are currently on sale through Nov. 28.

Iris Silverio (Latinas Don't PMS) and Robert Dominguez (Outside Man) co-direct and produce the engagement, which features musical direction by David N. Fernandez of Zon del Barrio.

Men Are Real is described in press notes as "a series of down-and-dirty comic monologues: sexy Latinas dish on subjects ranging from promiscuity to domination to intimate relationships with inanimate objects, while five Latino studs explore love, loyalty, betrayal, the machismo myth & the lure of big Latina butts."

The adult-themed monologues have been contributed by Robert Dominguez, Iris Silverio, Halley Bondy, Alex Vallecillo-Bone, Antonio M. Lopez and Andres Rodriguez.

The cast – many also created monologues for the production – comprises Iris Silverio, Alex Vallecillo-Bone, Antonio M. Lopez, Marcel Puissant, Andres Rodriguez and Patrick Alverado Stephenson.

Tickets are available by phoning (212) 239-6200 or by visiting Telecharge.com.
