| Our Space|
Teatro Paraguas maintains a 55-seat studio theatre for its own
productions and as a community resource for performing and literary arts in
northern New Mexico. We also are an incubator for emerging theatre groups, youth groups,
individual performers, poets and musicians. We have produced 53 plays since our debut performance !Neruda: Canto Porque Canto y Porque Canto! in 2004. |
Our Productions
|
Our work falls
roughly into three categories:
- Poetry performance series, which honors Hispanic and Latino poets through dramatic presentations of their poetry.
- Contemporary Latino plays, including plays by New Mexico playwrights.
- Cuentos series, which bring traditional Hispanic folk talkes to life on the stage.
Since 2008, Teatro Paraguas has produced 15 plays by
ten New Mexico playwrights. We are committed to promoting local writers
whose work reflects the Hispanic/Latino/New Mexico experience. 2016
