THIS IS TVP

MISSION

Teatro Vista is a non-profit theatre-based company dedicated to multidisciplinary artists of color whose artistic expression on stage and beyond is rooted in the transformative power of owning and telling our own stories.

YOU are what drives the power at Teatro Vista Productions.

TVP is a space meant to be in service of its artistic collective so that we may support and amplify the artists' goals and aspirations. Whether your goals are to be on stage with us, ideating and developing content with us, or to be amplified within your other endeavors by us, we are here to serve you and one another. Teatro Vista Productions “powers up” the artists we work with by providing them with an operations department that can serve as their “team of people.” To the best of our abilities and budget, we seek to provide services that level the playing field for independent artists of color.

Inside Teatro Vista Productions

CORE IDEOLOGY

We empower the artist to own their own stories, to share their experience and to reflect back to the community we stand in. We do so by creating:

A LEGACY OF CHANGE

  • We facilitate the sharing of resources with our artists to create an incubator that offers opportunities to grow the artist's resume and position them into leadership within the entertainment industry. When those artists grow into leadership, they turn around and open up that access for the next generation, creating a legacy of change.

STORIES THAT START WITH US

  • The depth and breadth of the Latine/x community through the viewfinder of American life can give way to a multiplicity of experiences.

  • We encourage artists to tell their stories boldly. Through the access of our resources and shared industry experience, we offer the artist various modes of artistic expression that may grow the seed of their ideas. It can be planted and cultivated into excellence by journeying it via a sonic experience through your headphones, engaging with audiences directly through its aesthetic on social media, or workshopping it with top notch designers into a live stage experience. 

  • Teatro Vista is committed to finding the best way to develop the artist’s content into its most genuine expression.

INCLUSION AT EVERY LEVEL

We drive artists to "write what you know" to "make your own" and to do so by disrupting mainstream narratives about who we are. We believe whatever the artist of color designs is innately genius, we do not ask them to fit into a mold that doesn’t feel authentic to their experience.

  • By including other identities that intersect with the Latine community, we are creating an archive of our shared history.

 ABUNDANCE

  • We are committed to the revolutionary impact of inclusion, we recognize that we won’t always get it right, but it is the journey to inclusion that is the most important. 

  • We empower artists with the resources they need to thrive in the industry, we are changing what the “top” looks like, which will ripple out into authentic representations of us on stage and screen.

  • We ask the community we stand in, “what do you need to thrive?” 

  • We engage with theater and media organizations as well as with local businesses and nonprofits, in order to plant seeds in the community that create a legacy of reciprocity.
