Su Teatro is the third oldest Chicano theater in the country.
For 50 years, the group has established a national reputation for home-grown productions that speak to the history and experience of Chicanos. Born from the Chicano Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and 70s, Su Teatro (Your Theater) began in 1972 as a student-organized theater group at the University of Colorado at Denver.
Throughout the 70s, Su Teatro performed politically charged plays and skits to support social activism and bolster civil rights causes. The 1980s saw a shift in the artistic output of Su Teatro, who began to develop full length plays focused on demystifying the Chicano identity and celebrating the experiences, history, language, and cultural heritage of Chicanos, Mexicanos, and Latinos throughout the Americas.
Join us as we celebrate everything that Su Teatro has accomplished within 50 years!
Over the course of our 2021/22 and 2022/23 Theatrical Seasons, we will be going through the full canon of original Su Teatro productions as well as significant non-Su Teatro developed works such as Bless Me, Ultima. We will celebrate these works through rehearsed readings as well as full length productions depending on the piece.
We will also celebrate Su Teatro Veteranos who we have had the honor of working with throughout the years.
We look forward to celebrating 50 Years with you all!
¡Que Viva Su Teatro!
