About the Show:

To launch our “Teatro Reimagined” season, we are thrilled to present our first production: Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest directed by Ana Martinez.

This classic comedy, first performed in 1895, is one of the most beloved plays in theatrical history. Known for its wit, satire, and sharp social commentary, Earnest playfully critiques class, identity, and the absurdity of societal expectations. But in the true spirit of transformation, Teatro Audaz is taking this masterpieces and reimagining it through an Audaz lens.

Our production will bring a fresh, dynamic, and culturally infused perspective to Wilde’s work—one that reflects our community and breathes new life into these iconic characters. By reshaping The Importance of Being Earnest in a way that speaks to contemporary audiences, we are not only honoring the brilliance of Wilde’s writing but also challenging the boundaries of what a “classic” can be.

This is just the beginning of a season that will celebrate reinvention, bold storytelling, and the power of theatre to evolve. We can’t wait for you to experience our Earnest—a version that is audacious, vibrant, and uniquely ours.

Our Vision

Teatro Audaz San Antonio envisions a vibrant and inclusive community where Latinx stories and voices thrive on stage, inspiring understanding, connection, and cultural pride. We strive to break barriers in theatre by fostering creativity, amplifying underrepresented narratives, and empowering artists and audiences to celebrate diversity and embrace bold, innovative storytelling. Through our work, we will continue to redefine the theatre experience as a powerful tool and lead the way for social change and cultural enrichment in San Antonio and beyond.
