With support from the California Arts Council, TEATRO DE LAS AMERICAS INCORPORATED will receive financial support that will allow it to retain the current half time Administrative Assistant and promote her to Administrator with a commensurate salary increase, thus assuring continuing viability of Teatro.
Since its foundation, Teatro has presented plays drawn primarily from Spanish-language playwrights from various countries. They are staged in Spanish with projection of English super-titles.
Over the years productions have involved over 300 actors, stage hands, and volunteers, and an audiences approaching 10,000. Actors, volunteers and audience range from farm-workers to professionals, from newly arrived, second, and later generation Spanish-speakers, to English-speakers who wish to learn or hone their skills in Spanish or simply wish to participate in theater. Teatro provides acting workshops to community members of all ages from among whom it draws casts and crews for its productions.
