Part of the 2008 Minnesota Fringe Festival

St. Paul, MN - June 5, 2008 - Loosely inspired by the hit movie, Napoleon Dynamite, this script follows a young Latino high schooler who wants to be elected class president and does a documentary of his Latino history to give the students a glimpse into his heritage.

Written by former Jerome Fellow and McKnight Advancement Grant winner Dominic Orlando, this piece was commissioned especially by and for Teatro del Pueblo, and will tour in the Spring of 2009 after this very special short engagement to the public at the 2008 Minnesota Fringe Festival!

Have Curves." We got great feedback from both the press and audience
members, and even href="http://www.citypages.com/2008-05-28/calendar/real-women-have-curves/">the
A-List onCitypages.

We want to thank all of our artists, tech personnel, designers and audiences for making this show such a successful run. Gracias!

Grant Land

It's a time for celebrations! Graudtion and wedding season are upon us. Teatro is celebrating too! It's that crucial time of year the June fiscal turn over! Which means lots of foundations are giving out grants.

We were fortunate enough this year to have recieved a grant from the Target Foundation, COMPAS school arts fund, and the COMPAS global artists.

While these large donations from foundations, corporations, and businesses are important.

For most of us the government stimulus check has come in the mail. You are already a integral part of the Teatro family, and we hope that you would consider donating part or all of it to Teatro del Pueblo. You may have plans for the check already but donating even a small amount helps a great deal. For many organizations fundraising at this time of the year slows to a crawl, but you can help us combat this trend. We would greatly appreciate any and all donations of money, time and support.

So we are offering up a toast "Good luck Teatro keep on truckin'"
