Cazateatro, founded in 2014, is Tennessee’s first and only bilingual theater company. We bring Latin American culture to life through bilingual plays, workshops like “The Real Meaning of the Day of the Dead,” and theater classes for children and adults. Our mission is to celebrate our heritage while promoting intercultural understanding and bilingual education. Every story we tell reflects universal values—encouraging empathy, representation, and healing through the Latinx lens. At Cazateatro, we believe the arts can unite communities and create meaningful connections that transcend language and culture.
