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.
