Fantastic Experimental Latino Theater
What Audiences Are Saying
Praise from audiences, artists, and community leaders.
“Wonderful to hear Pedro Pietri’s words brought to life. Humorous, thought-provoking, and deeply rewarding.”
Sonia Manzano
“It was great seeing you on stage. A really fun performance. Love and blessings to you and Hector.”
Frances Lucerna
El Puente of Williamsburg
“It’s been many years since I witnessed such extraordinary energy on stage. Bravo!”
Teresa Yenque
“Juan Valenzuela’s hilarious and surreal production of Pedro Pietri’s Last Request redefines Nuyorican theater—and perhaps theater itself. With a corpse waiting in the lobby, anything can happen. Pietri’s brilliant vision comes alive in a production that deserves a second act and a long life on stage.”
— Bob Holman
“Fabulously directed. Frank Perez delivered an outstanding performance. Highly recommended.”
Carmen Cruz
“A beautiful act of love for theater, Pedro Pietri’s work, and the craft of acting.”
Norberto Bogard
“An amazing cast and a beautifully directed production. A memorable theatrical experience.”
Maria Aponte
“You were fantastic! What an incredible performance. We had so much fun—it was an unforgettable experience!”
— Tanya Ko Hong
