To mark our 30th anniversary, Teatro del Pueblo will produce a new LatinX adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, titled Love in the Time of Hate. This show will celebrate Chicano identity and tackle contemporary issues of race and diversity in the LatinX community. Set at the southern border, we will present Shakespeare's timeless play through a uniquely LatinX perspective by blending Shakespearian verse with contemporary Chicano spoken word, Hip Hop Dance, and original music.
30,000 Feet will develop and offer 12 artist residency workshops, connecting Black youth in East Saint Paul to Black artists. Through projects and experiential learning rooted in African American culture and history, students use art to discuss social justice and other areas that spark passion. The program teaches critical history through curriculum they can relate to. We aim to create the next generation of changemakers by using out-of-the-box, meaningful methods that inspire.
