Latino Theater Co. feels strongly about the events which have taken place, recently and historically, affecting people of color and in particular the Asian Community. It is our responsibility to make our audience aware of the long-standing relationship we have had with our Asian colleagues. We share the same struggle of calling out white supremacy and hate. We invite you to a conversation where we can share information and understand how we can organize and continue to support our Asian brothers and sisters at this important time.
