MCC Grant Awardee – Repetorio Espanol

by MCC Guest Blogger Nina Liebman

From the
REPERTORIO ESPANOL
(Spanish Theatre Repertory Company)
June 5, 2013

There are many hidden treasures right in the heart of Manhattan. I discovered one when I entered the Repertorio Theater on East 27th Street for the 45th anniversary celebration of this dynamic and important arts company. In this jewel of a theater—in the middle of a bustling Indian, Arabic and American business and residential community—sits this professional theater with state-of-the-art stage technology, including an electronic subtitles system at each seat for non-Spanish speakers.

Repertorio Espanol produces a repertoire of contemporary and classical plays from Spain, Latin America, and the Hispanic American community, providing Spanish speaking New Yorkers a theatrical resource. Rpertrorio also makes theater accessible to students and teachers in an active arts-in-education program throughout the year.
