The Austin Latinx New Play Festival at Teatro Vivo

Teatro Vivo is proud to present the 2022 Austin Latinx New Play Festival with dramaturgical support from ScriptWorks. The festival is to be read live at the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center (MACC) in Austin, TX, April 7th 9th, 2022.Celebrating its 12th year, the Austin Latinx New Play Festival unites playwrights and audience members in conversation about four new play readings that bring insight into the Latinx experience. The staged readings are workshop-style presentations. After each reading, the playwright and director participate in talkback sessions with the audience. Though the productions have Latinx roots, they explore cross-cultural age-old themes and modern dilemmas that will surprise, challenge, engage and push the dramatic envelope for audience members accustomed to one-way conversations at the theater.Each date will feature one of the plays in the line up. Performances will be at 7 pm Thursday through Saturday and 2 pm on Saturday.
