We encourage anyone in the Midwest interested in Latina/o theatre in Chicago /The Midwest and nationally to fill out the survey. We understand that space constraints, distance and schedules may not allow everyone interested to attend, but by filling out the survey, you are not only contributing to a greater understanding of the state of Latina/o Theatre in Chicago and the Midwest, you are also placing yourself on the mailing list to receive more information about the Boston Convening and any future Cafe Onda related Midwest Latina/o Theatre Events in Chicago. Teatro Luna and partner organizations will be hosting a follow up event in December to continue the conversation, so stay tuned for details!
