About Pregones/PRTT
Puerto Rico has strong theatre traditions, both on the island and in New York City. In a way, Pregones/PRTT is the heir to Teatro Puerto Rico which was New York City’s Puerto Rican community theatre from 1948-1996.
Pregones was founded in 1979 by Rosalba Rolón. The Rolón family is a multigenerational theatrical family with some famous actors in it.
Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre (PRTT) was founded by stage and film actor Miriam Colón in 1967. It was one of the first bilingual theatre companies in the United States.
Both theaters have been the home stages of some famous actors. The two theaters joined forces in 2014. These Puerto Rican community theaters are now Pan-Latin theaters.
