Description

History

Established in 1996.

In 1996, Cara Mía Theatre Co. filled a void in the Dallas arts community by becoming the first Dallas theater to focus on the Mexican-​American experience. Cara Mía assured Mexican-​American audiences that their bilingual and bicultural experiences were represented regularly on Dallas stages.

Cara Mía has become a cultural resource in Dallas and North Texas, producing world premieres of major Mexican-​American writers such as Sandra Cisneros, Jimmy Santiago Baca, and Cherrie Morraga. Cara Mía has also produced original plays written collectively by the artistic ensemble and by local Dallas writers that have received critical acclaim from Dallas-​Fort Worth media.
