Teatro Vivo
THANK YOU for participating in the Austin Latinx New Play Festival, May 14-16, 2020.
If you attended any of the events below, please take our audience survey (live link)! Your feedback will be used to plan future virtual events. Thank you!
Teatro Vivo in collaboration with ScriptWorks, unites playwrights and audience members in conversation surrounding new works of Latino theatre. After each performance, the playwright participates in a talkback session with the audience. The ALNPF features four new plays by playwrights from throughout the U.S.
We are so excited to be sharing these shows with you online along with talkbacks with our playwrights & dramaturgs each night! Each day we’ll feature a new play reading on our website and a talkback with each playwright at 8 p.m or 3pm. Each recorded performance will only be available from 12pm CST until the post-show discussion time. Stay tuned for daily announcements for each play!
