With support from the California Arts Council, Teatro Espejo will use funds from this grant to advance its mission of empowering Chicanx/Latinx stories that center equity, dignity, and health within our community. If awarded, funds will support productions that fairly compensate artists and creative workers for Teatro’s 2022-2023 fiscal year.
Teatro Espejo offers two main season productions during the summer and winter that provide challenging and professional performance growth opportunities to our core membership of actors and performers. Through the quality of our productions, we offer our community a highly refined entertaining and meaningful experience. During summer, our Teatro Espejo One Act Festival is a performance geared project created to provide a productive training environment for burgeoning directors, performers, technicians, and creative workers. In winter, Teatro Espejo also offers a Children’s Showcase Festival where we provide training workshops for children of all ages. We focus on helping children become more assertive and help promote self-esteem through coaching and hands-on learning. After training, they are offered the opportunity to showcase their creative potential to the community at large.
