Esta semana, La Abuela Tomasa trae una historia sobre lo que pasa cuando te atreves a creer en algo que todavía no puedes ver 🌱✨

📖 El niño que no creía en la primavera, Lucille Clifton (autora) · Brinton Turkle (ilustrador)

A veces la esperanza no llega sola, hay que ir a buscarla. Este clásico cuenta la historia de un niño que no cree en la primavera hasta que sale a buscarla por sus propios medios. Una historia sobre la paciencia, el cambio y la pequeña sorpresa que aparece justo cuando menos la esperas.
¿Cómo saben en tu casa que la primavera llegó? 🌼👇

📖 The Boy Who Didn't Believe in Spring, Lucille Clifton (author) · Brinton Turkle (illustrator)

Sometimes hope doesn't come to you. You have to go find it. This classic follows a boy who refuses to believe in spring until he sets out to find it for himself. A story about patience, change, and the small surprise that shows up just when you least expect it.

How do you know spring has arrived in your house? 🌼👇

🎭✨ Back in Memphis, but with our hearts full of memories, learning experiences, and new friendships.

For six unforgettable days, Cazateatro had the honor of participating in the World Theatre Festival in Venice, Florida, sharing this extraordinary experience with theatre companies from Poland, Slovenia, the United Kingdom, Israel, and India.

We proudly represented our Latino community with the original play I Was There: Memories of Those Who Had No Choice, written by Gerardo Rivillas. A powerful story that gives voice to those who have experienced migration and reminds us of the strength, sacrifices, and humanity behind every journey.

Beyond the performances, we experienced something even more meaningful: connecting with artists from different cultures, languages, and traditions. We exchanged ideas, attended inspiring productions, built lasting friendships, and once again witnessed the power of theatre to bring people together beyond borders.

We return to Memphis with new perspectives, new connections, and a renewed belief that our stories matter. It was a privilege to share our voices, our culture, and our community on an international stage.

Thank you to the World Theatre Festival, the organizers, the participating companies, and everyone who helped make this experience possible.

Because when we share our stories, we discover that we have far more in common than we ever imagined.

🎭✨ De regreso en Memphis, pero con el corazón lleno de recuerdos, aprendizajes y nuevas amistades.

Durante seis días, Cazateatro tuvo el honor de participar en el World Theatre Festival en Venice, Florida, compartiendo esta extraordinaria experiencia con compañías de teatro de Polonia, Eslovenia, Reino Unido, Israel e India. Representamos con orgullo a nuestra comunidad latina presentando la obra original I Was There: Memories of Those Who Had No Choice, escrita por Gerardo A Rivillas Cediel. Una historia que da voz a quienes han vivido la experiencia de la migración y que nos recuerda la fortaleza, los sacrificios y la humanidad detrás de cada viaje.

Más allá de las funciones, vivimos algo aún más valioso: el encuentro con artistas de diferentes culturas, idiomas y tradiciones. Compartimos ideas, asistimos a presentaciones inspiradoras, construimos amistades y comprobamos una vez más que el teatro tiene el poder de unir a las personas más allá de cualquier frontera. Regresamos a Memphis con nuevas perspectivas, nuevas conexiones y la certeza de que nuestras historias importan. Fue un privilegio llevar nuestras voces, nuestra cultura y nuestra comunidad a un escenario internacional.

Gracias al World Theatre Festival, a los organizadores, a las compañías participantes y a cada persona que compartió este viaje con nosotros. Porque cuando contamos nuestras historias, descubrimos que tenemos mucho más en común de lo que imaginamos.

Celebrating Juneteenth 🎆✊

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day of freedom, resilience, and celebration of emancipation. Today, we join communities across the nation in remembering the courage of those who fought for liberty and justice.

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is not just a date on a calendar, it's a continuous commitment to equality, dignity, and solidarity. At Cazateatro, we believe in the power of art and community to build a world where all voices are heard and celebrated.

In the spirit of Juneteenth, we celebrate the strength of African American communities and reaffirm our commitment to creating spaces where all cultures and stories are honored.

Esta semana, La Abuela Tomasa trae un cuento clásico que nunca pasa de moda 🌲🍬📖 Hansel y Gretel — Kim Mitzo Thompson (autora) · Karen Mitzo Hilderbrand (ilustradora)

Perdidos en el bosque, pero juntos. La historia de Hansel y Gretel nos recuerda que el miedo se enfrenta mejor en compañía, y que la valentía no siempre es no tener miedo, sino seguir adelante con el hermano o la hermana de la mano.
¿Cuál era tu cuento de hadas favorito de niño/a? 🧙‍♀️👇

We’re thrilled to share that Cazateatro Artistic Director Mónica Sánchez is directing The House – the winner of the Teresa Jordan Emerging Local Playwright Competition, written by Savannah S. Miller – presented by Germantown Community Theatre!

Set in the 1980s, The House follows two brothers torn apart by the sale of their family home – and the story of a Puerto Rican mother who left everything behind to build a life rooted in love. A powerful exploration of Latinx identity, memory, and belonging.

Thank you to Germantown Community Theatre for this incredible opportunity and for centering stories that reflect our community.

🗓️ June 25–28, 2026
Thu/Fri/Sat at 7:30 PM | Sunday at 2:30 PM
🎟 gctcomeplay.org | Box Office: (901) 453-7447

Come see you there. 🌺

GCT presents the winner of the Emerging Local Playwright competition, THE HOUSE by Savannah S. Miller!

“Set in the 1980s, THE HOUSE follows two brothers that come to blows over the sale of their family home. In the 1940s, their mother leaves everything she knew in Puerto Rico to begin a life built on love with their father, a well-meaning but oblivious white soldier from Florida. THE HOUSE examines the Latinx identity—how it has been constructed and depicted in the United States and how it may be truly felt by the individuals who claim it as part of their being. Ultimately, it is a lesson in where we come from and how it may define us, if we only let it.”

🗓️THE HOUSE runs June 25th - 28th, Thursday/Friday/Saturday at 7:30 PM, Sunday at 2:30 PM.

🎟️ Tickets may be purchased online at gctcomeplay.org or through the Box Office at (901)-453-7447, Tuesday - Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM.

THE HOUSE is done in partnership with Cazateatro Bilingual Theatre Groupatro.
