Teatro SEA is America’s Latino theatre for young audiences. This bilingual puppet theatre company produces some of our favorite New York theatre. Some kids don’t want to speak Spanish or are learning to speak English. Teatro SEA’s bilingual model invites children to speak both languages.
Productions are world-class and fun for all ages. The Director, Dr. Manuel A. Morán is Puerto Rican, and the team is from across the Latin world. The organization has grown beyond live theatre into animation and more. In a way, Teatro SEA is the Latin Sesame Street. It really is that good.
