About Water People Theater

Water People Theater is a non-profit Latino bilingual organization dedicated to the development of performing arts and theater. Our mission is to attract new and diverse talents to create high-quality theater that inspires a very diverse audience to seek change and contribute decidedly to equity, justice, respect, and integrating all cultures. Our name Water People comes from the Venezuelan indigenous group Yekuana. It signifies people on the river who open roads in the water. Water People Theater's value statement is “We believe in the inclusive and transformative power of Theater”. Our mission is tied directly to bringing diverse talent and audiences together to create theater that informs, inspires, and motivates all participants to seek change and contribute to peace, respect and acceptance. We are committed to themes, messages and content that will create a sense of community, reach across ethnic and socioeconomic boundaries, and access underserved individuals and communities who may not have been exposed to theater. We are a bilingual organization, and we seek to involve talent and serve audiences with values-based art with no limitations due to race, ethnicity, class, gender identity, sexual orientation or identification. We are not afraid to address difficult social issues in our work as evidenced by theater productions, short films, and theatrical concerts that are based on anti-violence, equality, and historic icons who were leaders for change.
