2013 Latinx Theatre Commons National Convening
Channel: HowlRound Theatre Commons
Date: 2023-11-03

With the support of HowlRound, the first large-scale formal gathering of the Latinx theatre community since 1986 took place October 31-November 2, 2013 at Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts. The Latina/o Theatre Commons, or LTC, (later renamed the Latinx Theatre Commons) hosted a historical convening of seventy-eight Latinx actors, directors, producers, playwrights, designers, and scholars representing all regions of the United States. They gathered to explore the history, current challenges, opportunities, and visions for Latina/o theatremakers in the twenty-first century. Over the course of the convening, those gathered sought to advance the state of Latinx theatremaking through sharing artistic, organizing, and institutional wisdom. Strategies were identified to seed collaborations and strengthen the burgeoning network of Latinx theatre artists. Learn more: https://howlround.com/2013-ltc-national-convening
