Teatro de la Luna was founded in 1991 with the intent of
providing the Washington capital area with permanent access to theater from a Latin American perspective. We are incorporated in Washington, D.C. and
Virginia, and perform at the Gunston Arts Center, 2700 S. Lang Street, Arlington, VA., as well as in various venues in the District of Columbia and suburban Maryland. Our performances are in Spanish, with English surtitles or live English dubbing offered at our mainstage productions and during our International Festivals of Hispanic Theater. |
|
Our mission is to promote Hispanic culture and foster
cross-cultural understanding between the Spanish- and English-speaking communities of our region via Spanish-language theater and bilingual theatrical activities. We
forward our mission by producing plays, by teaching theater workshops to adults and children, by organizing poetry marathons and by producing International Festivals
of Hispanic Theater. All these activities provide opportunities for community dialogue, participation, reflection and support. |
|
Our vision is for a living, working theater with salaried
actors, that trains Hispanic and non-Hispanic actors and theater technicians, provides bilingual theater related workshops and camps for children and teens, promotes
the beauty of the Spanish language, and introduces new and unique forms of Hispanic theater to the greater Washington area. |
|
Teatro de la Luna has four distinct programs. |
|
Including Lunes de Luna Playreading Series, Actor and
Technician Training and In-House Productions. |
|
Our annual Festival brings productions from across Latin America and Spain. |
|
In-school performances, public performances for young
people, theater camps and workshops. |
