Commitment to a value system

Original aesthetic, excellence in practice, cultural authenticity, and social justice

Currently, CMTC is one of the few Latinx theatres in the nation to produce 4-5 mainstage productions each season. The breadth of CMT’s plays has also evolved over the years to reach non-theatre-going Latinos. Moreover, through theatrical productions that speak to universal human values, CMT seeks to give voice to communities of color. CMT has made a commitment to a value system that supports an original aesthetic, excellence in practice, cultural authenticity, and social justice. CMT’s productions use these values to unearth history, create new perspectives, and give voice to underrepresented communities not limited to the Latinx demographic.

While producing classic plays by acclaimed Latinx playwrights, CMT understands the necessity of contributing new plays to the underrepresented Latinx canon. CMT also produces a reading series that cultivates the active addition of new plays by voices of color to the American canon of theatrical work. Today, CMT boasts of a 14-member resident Artistic Ensemble that actively creates new work. Presenting stories through a Latinx lens not only provides representation to the Latinx community but encourage understanding, compassion, and healing with productions that speak to universal values. CMT offers community outreach for all productions including subsidized accessible tickets, Youth Nights at the Theatre, study guides, talk backs, and Community Conversations that encourage action and further engagement among the participants.
