Teatro Vista is a non-profit theatre and production company dedicated to multidisciplinary artists of color whose artistic expression on stage and beyond is rooted in the transformative power of owning and telling our own stories.

We empower our artists to grow their resumes into executive leadership positions in the entertainment industry to be the representation we seek. Our commitment to storytelling and professional development opens up access to equity both within the company and in our community at large.
