Cara Mía Theatre’s
30th Anniversary Season

Experience exciting international theatre, music, and cultural exchange at the 7th Annual International Latinidades Theatre Festival. Featuring artists and companies from across the U.S. and Latin America, the festival becomes a destination for world-class performance, cultural diversity, and community. Join us this September and October at the Latino Cultural Center for innovative theatre, music, dance, and unforgettable shared experiences.

Returning for its 3rd year, the Latinidades Arts Symposium brings together artists, cultural leaders, educators, and arts organizations to explore how our arts can thrive in times of change. Through conversations on mentorship, funding trends, AI and the arts, and community-building, the Symposium creates space for learning, collaboration, and intergenerational exchange.

About the Show

Get ready for the world premiere of MARIACHI, a new bilingual play inspired by the oral histories of legendary Texas mariachi musicians and educators.

Commissioned by the Center for Mexican American Studies and the Voces Oral History Center at the University of Texas at Austin, MARIACHI explores the origins of mariachi in Mexico, the rise of mariachi education in Texas schools, and the families and artists who carried this musical tradition across generations.

The production will also feature student matinee performances with live mariachi music, interactive artist master classes, and TEKS-aligned educational experiences connecting theatre, music, storytelling, and Texas cultural history.
