Overview

Mission

Teatro Del Pueblo promotes Latinx culture through the creation and presentation of performing arts by developing and supporting Latinx artists; providing educational opportunities for all people to experience Latinx culture; and promoting cross-cultural dialogue.

What it reported doing in 2024

Teatro del Pueblo continues to produce thought-provoking work that blends Latin American theater traditions with the Latino community experience in the USA. This year, we produced, in collaboration with Pangea World Theatre, the trilogy play "Homodramaticus" at the Southern Theatre in Minneapolis, MN. This was followed by Voces Latinas at the Park Square Theater, a Broadway Latin American musical-themed cabaret. We continued the development of our new commission, "Los Profanadores de la Calle Areana," as part of our new works series "Vision-es". In addition, we continue to serve our artists and community through professional enrichment workshops. This year, we collaborated with the artist "Seemore" to host a spoken-word workshop for community members and artists.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
