Latino Initiative

Mixed Blood has a 20-year history of producing work by, with, for, and/or about Latinos. Since 1999 the theatre has produced annually in Spanish and English with bilingual casts, with projected supertitles allowing monolingual English speakers to understand the entire production. Diminishing barriers to participation is at the center of the company's Latino initiative.

Latino Programming in the 2011–12 Season

Crashing the Party, by Josh Tobiessen, features Joe Minjares and Sally Wingert in this farcical world premiere about the pursuit of the American dream. On the mainstage February 10-March 4, 2012. More. View our fun little video on "Are there Latinos in Crashing the Party" here.

Learn to Be Latina, by Enrique Urueta, a riotous take on cultural appropriation—and what makes a pop culture star, is on the mainstage April 20–May 13, 2012. More

Minnecanos, Mixed Blood's bilingual touring show by Joe Minjares and Thomas Benitez, plays for two weeks at the Parkway Theater in south Minneapolis, March 16–24, 2012. Using mementos collected over a lifetime and lively corridos (story songs), an old man awakens his great-grandchild’s interest in their shared Chicano history. The expanded show is performed in Spanish and English, with projected English super-titles. More
