Mesa Arts Center, 1 E. Main St., is hosting A Conversation with John Leguizamo lecture on Feb. 3.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $35 to $75. Tickets are available at MesaArtsCenter.com or call 480-644-6500 during box office business hours.

The Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor shares an evening of lecture, moderated conversation — with audience questions, humor and insight based on lessons he’s learned, characters he’s encountered and struggles he’s had against racism and poverty, according to a release.

“A prominent actor-writer-director in film, television and theatre, Leguizamo offers unique perspectives on life based on his experiences growing up in a tough neighborhood in Queens, moving through his early performance experiences in 1980s avant-garde theatre and rising to his current life as an immensely popular feature film and television actor,” it states.
