eSe Teatro: Seattle Latinos Take Stage

Website Contact the organization

eSe Teatro: Seattle Latinos Take Stage eSe Teatro is a collective of professional theatre artists with a vast body of experience.

We are an open collective actively reaching out to encourage other Latinx theatre artists to have a sense of home and place. “eSe Teatro” employs Latino actors, directors and writers who have great difficulty competing in mainstream theatre. Lack of employment opportunities and exposure are the main reasons so many Latino theatre artists leave the Seattle area. “eSe Teatro” is designed to give Latino theatre artists a space for self-expression, be it a physical space, a space for peer evaluation and support, a space for creativity and development, a space for dialogue with Latino communities or simply a space to have our work honored and validated.

A Tender, Funny Solo Show About What We Keep After Loss
Written and co-created by Julieta Vitullo
Performed and co-created by Iveliz Martel
 
Select Wednesdays and Saturdays, thru December 5, 2026 at 7:30pm
University Heights Center
5031 University Wy NE, Seattle, WA 98105

Don't Call It a Journey resists the tidy arc that "journey" suggests. Instead, it's built from the objects, the inside jokes, the mistranslations between Spanish and English, and the absurd bureaucracy of illness that actually make up a life — and a loss. Told through the use of analog technologies like a tape recorder, an overhead projector and a rotary phone, plus a house full of tchotchkes, this solo performance moves between a Seattle kitchen, a hospital room, and a dreamscape where crabs, hydras, and robins carry what words can't. Funny when you don't expect it; heartbreaking in the same breath. In the end, we know that grief doesn't travel in a straight line. Neither does this play.

Ticket Prices: $8.75, $15, $25 & $40

eSe Teatro is thrilled to announce its next play, “Don’t Call It a Journey.” A play built from objects, inside jokes, mistranslations, and the absurd bureaucracy of illness that actually make up a life — and a loss. Funny when you don’t expect it; heartbreaking in the same breath.
