Seeking Common Ground: Latinx and Latin American Theatre and Performance

A curated collection of new Latinx and Latin American plays, monologues, interviews, and critical essays that asks the question: what is the common ground between Latinx and Latin American artists?

Featuring a mix of plays and scholarly essays, this work originally emerged from the Latino Theater Company's Encuentro de las Am駻icas festival, produced in partnership with the Latinx Theatre Commons (LTC) at the Los Angeles Theatre Center in 2017. The collection chronicles not only the theatrical productions of the festival, but also features a transnational exploration of U.S. Latinx and Latin American theatre-making.

Alongside plays by Evelina Fern疣dez, Alex Alpharaoh, J.Ed Araiza and Carlos Celdr疣 this anthology also includes a mix of monologues, snapshots, profiles and interviews that together provide a dynamic account of these intersections within U.S. Latinx and Latin American Theater. A unique collection it serves not only as a testament to the diversity of Latinx artists, but also to the strength of the Latinx Theater movement and its ever-growing networks across the Hemispheric Americas.
