About This Book

A wildly fun and hysterical collection of characters from the mind of John Leguizamo. Playable by one actor or a small ensemble, Mambo Mouth excavates issues of adolescence, race, parenthood, and more.

**AGAMEMNON**. A failed actor/misogynist public-access character who takes letters, calls, and reenacts woulda-been screen triumphs and personal vendettas.

**LOCO LOUIE**. A funny cautionary tale about why you shouldn’t always be in a hurry to get older.

**ANGEL GARCIA**. A recently arrested man realizes that his behavior has consequences. PEPE. A man, cornered, tries to appeal to an officer by noting the contradictions of race in America.

**MANNY THE FANNY**. A woman shares how she’s taken care of herself with men. INCA PRINCE. A father tries to get his son to go to sleep with creative bedtime stories.

**CROSSOVER KING**. A Latino man tries to teach the audience about passing as a different race to be more palatable to white Americans.
