Sponsored by the Latinx Theatre Alliance/Los Angeles, Voces del Teatro: An Oral History of Latinx Theatre in Modern Los Angeles (Late 1960s to Present) is a living archive consisting of video and audio interviews with the key elder theatre makers who established and developed this genre over the past 50 years. This groundbreaking effort marks the first formal attempt to chronicle our theatrical legacy. Beginning with the Chicano Movement and the advent of the Civil Rights era, Voces del Teatro is not only a story of theater, but a testament to the power of the arts to empower social and political change.

 

Hopefully, Voces del Teatro will inspire ongoing formal scholarship and continued archival efforts from social historians, theater practitioners, and the community of Los Angeles as a whole.

​

Moving forward, the Latinx Theatre Alliance/Los Angeles Collection will encompass both the Voces del Teatro Oral History Archive as well as independent collections relating to Latinx theatre in Los Angeles, making this institution home to the only such collection in the country.
