We are thrilled to honor John Leguizamo for his significant contributions to the world of performance and his rich history with Performance Space 122. John enjoyed his stage breakthrough while writing and starring as seven different Latino characters in his one-man show Mambo Mouth, which had its genesis at PS122, then moved off-Broadway and later became an HBO Comedy Hour in '91. Two more critically acclaimed, award-winning shows, Spic-O-Rama ('93) and Freak ('97), were developed at PS122 and later were adapted into HBO films.
John is one of a core group of seminal artists whose solo careers took flight at Performance Space 122 and whose epic talent and ground-breaking work characterize our foundation and infuse our future. John epitomizes the innovation, risk, and rigor to which we are committed, and his excellence and achievement continue to inspire us.
