Gregg Barrios and I-DJ a Hit at the 2016 San Antonio Book Festival

At the 2016 San Antonio Book Festival, playwright and poet Gregg Barrios was the festival’s first featured playwright for his play I-DJ. A scene from I-DJ was performed and then was followed by a conversation with Gregg Barrios.

Gregg Barrios’ participation in the 2016 San Antonio Book Festival has garnered several stories by San Antonio news outlets: The San Antonio Current, OUTINSA, and the Rivard Report.

I-DJ is a story of Warren Peace aka Amado Guerrero Paz, a gay Mexican American youth who finds his calling as a DJ. He spins the soundtrack of his life on the dance floor by night and by day in a gay send-up of Shakesqueer’s Ham-a-lot set to a dub-step beat of ecstasy, tainted love, Rollerena and Herb Alpert.
