Background Statement
Su Teatro is the third oldest Chicano theater in the country (preceded by Teatro Campesino and Teatro de la Esperanza). Over 40 years, the group has established a national reputation for home-grown productions that speak to the history and experience of Chicanos. Su Teatro is the only Chicano/Latino cultural arts center in a four state region (Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas and Utah) that has continuously produced and presented artistic work since 1971.
Su Teatro has created more than 15 original full length productions that have toured widely to venues such as New York's Public Theater, The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center, San Antonio, TX, Los Angeles' Plaza de la Raza, and the Los Angeles Theatre Center. Su Teatro has been nationally recognized for the artistic excellence of its programs through funding from the Shubert Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, Theatre Communications Group, and the Mellon Foundation among others.
