Overview
Mission
Teatro vision creates theater rooted in chicanx and latinx experiences to inspire the people of santa clara valley and beyond to feel, think, and act to create a better world.
What it reported doing in 2024
Our 12th annual da de los muertos production, macario by evelina fernndez with music by russell rodrguez, over 2600 community members from our local area and beyond, maintaining our presence in the region as a unique and important voice in bilingual theater. As with all of our da de muertos productions, macario provided a rare spanish-language theatergoing opportunity for our community, while remaining accessible to english- and spanish-speakers alike through our bilingual open caption program. Performances also included a sold-out student matinee welcoming 500 k-12 students and chaperones attending at steeply discounted rates. Nearly 25% of student matinee tickets were fully subsidized, and nearly 400 students from local title i schools were able to attend. Captions in english and spanish were provided at live performances, and asl interpretation was provided at two performances. For the first time, we offered asl interpretation at our student matinee, making it possible for two local schools for the deaf to participate. By bringing people together to reflect on their shared cultural heritage and to engage in a participatory arts experience, macario continued to improve socio-emotional health outcomes for our community.
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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
