WHY JOHN LEGUIZAMO IS CAPTIVATING AUDIENCES
John Leguizamo first came to prominence on the lecture circuit touring around the nation’s colleges and stages with his one-man show Ghetto Klown, which traced his life from growing up in Queens, through his avant-garde theater origins in the 1980s, to his feature film career and beyond. In the spirit of this provenance, Leguizamo is now taking his entire story—the lessons he’s learned, the characters he’s encountered, his passion for education, his struggles against racism and poverty—to audiences around the country with An Evening with John Leguizamo.
