LOS ANGELES — On Aug. 24, “Superbad” fans can experience a rare live reading of the cult comedy, reimagined with a cast of immigrants and children of immigrants including Hasan Minhaj, Cobie Smulders, Melissa Fumero and Harvey Guillén.
The free event will stream live on the official website for Immigrant Defenders Law Center (ImmDef), a social justice law firm that has been at the forefront of the response to ongoing ICE raids largely targeting Southern California’s Latino residents.
The reading will be directed by Marvin Lemus (“Gentefied”) and produced alongside Gloria Calderón Kellett (“One Day at a Time”), who hope the one-of-a-kind reading will help raise money for ImmDef’s Bond Fund and bring a sense of levity to a community grief-stricken by the ongoing detentions and deportations
