Spic-O-Rama: A Dysfunctional Comedy
by John Leguizamo

The members of a Latino family in Jackson Heights, New York, are preparing for the wedding of the family’s oldest son.

These include the precocious youngest son, the wayward brother pining for a woman he took for granted, a brother who feels like an outsider, a very tired matriarch and the father that was a father despite his best intentions.

As they confide their dreams, grudges and regrets with frank, full-bodied, full-hearted voices, the play leads to a wedding that almost everyone is surprised is actually happening.

As each takes a turn, the audience sees more and more of the psychology of a household that may give a new meaning to “dysfunctional.”

Originally all played by just one actor, the varied points of view in this play contribute to the diverse, comedic whole – and can now be expanded to be portrayed by any number of actors.
