2020 Innovators Showcase – Featuring Theatre Cultura

Through the Innovator Incubator, PlayGround supports the launch of brand-new artist-driven innovative theatre companies and the development of innovative new works for the stage. This year-long intensive program culminates in an annual new works festival, the Innovators Showcase. This year, we have taken the opportunity of digital theater in a pandemic age and expanded our programming to allow all our second year cohort the chance to produce and present their own projects of whatever scope they pleased. Resultantly, this year’s 2020 Innovator Showcase is a robust three weeks of live-streamed performance, developmental readings, digital web series, and live panels on artistry and activism all free to watch from the comfort of your home! 

This particular blog post will feature Theatre Cultura and their upcoming debut of Corazón of a Latina by Linda Amayo-Hassan.

The mission of Theatre Cultura is, first and foremost, to provide the opportunity for local and national Latina theater artists to have a place for their voices to be heard in high quality, deeply invested productions. TC’s intention is to create theater that will inspire, inform, challenge, empower, embrace and reflect the lives and communities of Latinas of the SF Bay Area and around the country. Themes of immigration, Latinx and women’s issues will provide the main focus for content. Plays will mostly be original and selected from active, working Latina playwrights from around the country in order to build a community of professional Latina playwrights who wish to tell the stories borne of the Latina experience and create a dynamic connection between those artists and the communities they serve.

Corazón of a Latina is a premiere presentation about Latinas living, thriving, struggling, and coping in the United States. This production focuses on the many roles Latinas play in our society, how they are perceived and how Latinas actually perceive themselves. It is a moment of reflection and a moment of expression for Latinas in America. Corazón of a Latina is written by Linda Amayo-Hassan in collaboration with April Ballesteros, Natalia Delgado, Letitia Duarte, Carla Gallardo, Livia Gomes Demarchi and Michelle Navarrette.
