Teatro Vision is creating a new play, tentatively titled Departera, and you can be a part of it!
Over the last few months, we’ve gathered stories and ideas from community members just like you – and our artists have taken these ideas and turned them into a rough draft of a script.
Upcoming New Work Events
World premiere production
In October 2018, the new work will have its world premiere as Teatro Visión’s 6th annual Día de los Muertos show!
