Jaime Lozano Acceptance Speech | 2022 Jonathan Larson Grant Recipient

"When I was living in Mexico, I was struggling to fit anywhere. I couldn't find my place. I couldn't find a way to communicate and express who I was. And it wasn't until I discovered musical theatre and especially one of the very first shows I learned about, Jonathan Larson's 'Rent' that I felt that I belong somewhere." - Jaime Lozano
