Produced by Dr. Maria Patrice Amon, La Jolla Playhouse’s 2024-2025 Artist-in-Residence, this festival serves as a vibrant platform celebrating Latin stories in American theater. Each of the four selected plays was chosen from over 150 submissions this year, showcasing the diversity of experiences and narratives that reflect the Latinx community today.

The festival will run from Friday, October 4, through Sunday, October 6, at the Rao and Padma Makineni Play Development Center at La Jolla Playhouse. It will feature emerging Latinx playwrights from across the U.S.
