First-ever “teatro dominicano” opens in NY

teatro ppal.gif The influence of the Dominican community in New York City cannot be denied. Over half of all Dominicanos in the U.S. live in the state of New York, and the face of New York City has changed as la isla dominicana has come to transplant itself on la isla de Manhattan over the past several decades.

Surprising it is, then, that only now is the first all-Dominicano theatre, Teatro Estudio Internacional, opening its doors in New York City. Not en el barrio, but on Broadway.

La nueva sala teatral de Teatro Estudio Internacional, único Teatro Dominicano en la ciudad de Nueva York, llevará el nombre de la gran actriz dominicana Ilka Tanya Payán. Dicha sala será nombrada el 20 de octubre a las 7:00 pm en una ceremonia presidida por el Comisionado de los Asuntos de Emigración de la Alcaldía, Guillermo Linares.

I think the fact that the theatre will be based in the heart of the “mainstream” theatre district is a great step towards getting Americans to take a closer look at Latino theatre, and at Dominican theatre in particular, which according to some has never existed as a serious movement in New York the way it should — until now.

The premiere party for the Teatro Estudio Internacional gets started this Thursday, October 20th at 7:00 pm at the Times Square Arts Center (between 8th and 9th Avenues).
