In addition, new works will be distributed by Migdalia Cruz, Amparo GarciaCrow, Virginia Grise and Diane Rodriguez.
LTC was created in 2012 when Latina/o theatre artists united with the mission of establishing national events that would provide opportunities for fellow artists and create new partnerships. Carnaval is the third in a series of national events hosted by LTC and HowlRound.
Readings are free; however, reservations are required. To register and for more information visit latinaotheatrecommons.com.
