Cazateatro is a 501-C Since 2014, the first and only bilingual there group in Tennessee.
As Tennessee’s unique bilingual theater group, we’re dedicated to bilingual education and enriching multicultural experiences. We celebrate the vibrant colors and diverse narratives of Latin American art and culture, offering transformative experiences to our community.
Our Plays are bilingual, as are our workshops, like “The real meaning of the Day of the Dead” and our bilingual Theatre Classes for children and Adults.
Philosophy: We believe that presenting stories through a Latinx lens, not only provides representation to the Latinx community, but encourages understanding, compassion, and healing with productions that speak to universal values.
Mission: Cazateatro’s mission is to celebrate and share our Latin American culture through the scenic arts, stressing the importance of intercultural learning and bilingual education.
