Teatro Vista was founded in 1990 to address the lack of opportunities for Latine artists. Now in our 33rd year, we have evolved into a non-profit multimedia theatre company dedicated to multidisciplinary artists of color whose artistic expression on stage and beyond is rooted in the transformative power of storytelling.

By supporting us, you are investing in a company that:

has served the Latine community for 33 years.
has presented over 65 productions, including more than 20 world premieres and 15 Midwest premieres, providing a platform for Latine artists to thrive.
has all current leadership roles filled by Latinas: Board President, Board Treasurer, Artistic Directors and Artistic Producer.
Employs and builds resumes of 50 to 80 artists a year, a majority artists of color, providing them opportunities to further their careers in a supportive and collaborative environment.
brings productions that celebrate the nuance and diversity of the Latine community.
has an award winning ensemble of artists and provides them with opportunities to develop their work, as well as professional development.
has been critically acclaimed, award winning and operates as the only Equity Latino Theatre company in the Midwest. While the entertainment industry grapples with its identity and lack of inclusion, Teatro Vista has always known who it's working for and who it serves.

At Teatro Vista, we value:

a philosophy of abundance. We share knowledge and resources across communities and disciplines creating access and opportunities to excel.
a legacy of leadership. We are the representation we seek. We provide professional development opportunities to our ensemble and collaborators that can open pathways towards leadership positions. This is how you create change-makers in the entertainment industry. Once directors, producers, executive producers, and network executives look like us, we will begin to see an authentic change within representation in front of the camera and behind it.
a culture of authentic inclusion. We believe whatever the artist of color designs is inherently genius, we do not ask them to fit into a mold that doesn’t feel authentic to their experience. We invite not only Latine talent but all artists of marginalized identities to help build the table with us. We cannot thrive alone, we do so in community. “Pa’lante, juntos”.
stories that start with us. The depth of the Latine experience told through the viewfinder of American life can give way to a multiplicity of experiences. Through our storytelling, we provide audiences with a nuanced cultural awareness and understanding about the Latine community and beyond.
