June, 1972 was an eyeblink ago.
A time that without perspective would not seem as significant, and the actions that we were engaged in would not seem as great.
In reality, it has been many miles, and moments that Su Teatro has traveled to reach our present state.
It has been 40 years since, as a 19 year old college student/former high school dropout, I walked into a rehearsal and became a member of the only club that I felt would have me.
Many people think that Su Teatro benefited from that encounter, but the truth is, it was I who was changed.
I had dreamed of being a writer: why I thought I could be a writer, I don’t remember. What significant insight did I have to offer? Who would care to read what I had to write?
I only knew about being a Chicano, and I didn’t know too much about that. Su Teatro gave me a path to learn about myself.
Hundreds of actors have appeared in more than a thousand Su Teatro performances and all so that we could return to the place where we began, here in Denver’s Westside.
Many more people have attended performances, workshops and classes.
On my 40th Anniversary with the company, we look back with nostalgia and pride and we also look forward to the future.
Rather than reaching a plateau, we have been placed on a launching pad.
Su Teatro now not only represents my dream, but the dreams and aspirations of a new generation of actors, writers, directors and audience members, who believe that their stories have value and substance and are important in the public discourse that the arts provide.
Help us to ensure that the legacy is carried on September 22.
