Mike Oquendo Events announces a Thanksgiving weekend performance of Jibaro Soy! Puerto Rican actor, comedian, and playwright Elizardi Castro returns to Chicago to perform his one-man show at The Copernicus Center, 5216 W. Lawrence Ave., Friday, Nov. 29th at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20/$35 and available at www.mikeyocomedy.com. WGN TV’s “Around Town” Ana Belaval is a special guest.

Written, directed and performed by Castro, Jibaro Soy! is his life’s narrative told in three parts. Castro will share stories about his childhood and native homeland; his trials and tribulations during law school to his time in the courtroom; and those lessons learned from the actions taken and decisions made by family men of different generations. This night of culture and celebration will also feature a tribute performance by Orquesta Tributo, paying homage to Puerto Rico’s legendary Salsa orchestra El Gran Combo.
