Connecting with the next generation of theater lovers! 🎭✨

We recently hosted students from Fordham University at IATI Theater for an immersive 4-hour workshop. They got a behind-the-scenes look at the entire pre-production process behind bringing a new play to the stage this fall.

As part of their visit, the students were tasked with designing a promotional poster for Fifty Fun Facts sobre Olivia [mi madre] tailored directly to their peers in college. They presented their creative concepts to our team, sharing why young audiences and students need to experience this powerful story about culture, identity, and family.

Seeing our upcoming production through their eyes was truly inspiring!

¿La felicidad permanente es una trampa del sistema?

Nos han vendido la idea de que si no eres feliz, es porque no te estás esforzando lo suficiente. Pero, ¿qué pasa cuando decidimos rebelarnos contra la tiranía del optimismo?
IATI Presents: “Manual de autoayuda”

Nos enorgullece recibir desde Chile a la aclamada compañía
Teatro Intausto.

Esta obra es un cruce tremendo de teatro, performance y autoficción que viene a poner en jaque todo ese cuento de la superación personal. Acá nos reímos de lo que nos duele con puro humor negro e ironía; el público no viene a quedarse sentado mirando, viene a poner el cuerpo y ser parte de la experiencia.

DETALLES / SHOWTIMES:

Fechas / Dates: Agosto 14, 15 y 16, 2026
Dónde / Where: IATI Theater (64 East 4th Street, New York, NY
10003)
Idioma / Language: Español (In Spanish)

¡ENTRADAS DISPONIBLES YA!

NYC might be under a Flood Watch today 🌧️⚡️, but over at IATI Theater, we’ve been completely FLOODED with new plays!
An astonishing 406 playwrights from around the world submitted their original scripts for our Cimientos play development program! 🎭✨

Out of this massive downfall of talent, our panel will select ONLY 10 plays. These 10 writers will embark on an intensive incubator journey, receiving mentorship and dramaturgical support, culminating in our signature Staged Readings Series in NYC!

Huge thank you to every single playwright who trusted us with their vanguardia stories. Stay tuned as we begin reading—and stay dry out there! ☔️
