Description Of Opportunity:
The Grupo de Teatro en Español, a Latinx theater student organization affiliated with the Modern Languages and Literatures department of California State University Fullerton, aims to unify and empower the Latinx community by showcasing theatrical performances that represent Latinx stories. Despite strides towards representation through performances such as In the Heights, West Side Story, and Zoot Suit, Latinx voices remain under-represented in mainstream media, and their stories are often told by others. Our group aims not just to perform theater, but to build resilience and confidence by providing an inclusive space that allows our members to find their voice and tell their story in an authentic way.
