Teatro Visión

Teatro Visión creates theater rooted in Chicanx and Latinx experiences to inspire the people of Santa Clara Valley and beyond to feel, think, and act to create a better world.

Teatro Visión was founded in 1984 by members of Women in Teatro, a statewide network of Chicano theaters. Over the last 36 years, Teatro Visión has commissioned, developed, and/or produced over 60 plays for audiences of more than 156,000 patrons.

Today, Teatro Visión continues to raise a unique, bilingual voice in Bay Area theater.

• Our annual Día de Muertos production is a high caliber professional theater performance, a performance opportunity for local actors of all ages, and the anchor for a series of events that bring our community together around the themes of the play.
• Our annual youth production offers a cast and crew of young people aged 10 to 18 the opportunity to build skills, confidence, and community connections by participating in a professional theater production.
• Our community-based new work development programs draw on the diverse voices in our community to create unique, relevant works of theater that position Teatro Visión as an innovator in community engagement and theater creation.
• Our teatro classes teach performance as a tool for social change, strengthening the critical thinking, self-confidence, communication, and problem-solving skills that students need to make positive changes in our community.
