LATEA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that assiduously promotes scenic arts and independent film producers to Latinos and multicultural audiences. From classics to experimental plays and musical theater, to music and dance recitals, to film festivals, LATEA has presented a varied and affordable program to the community for over three decades. Furthermore, we provide rehearsal rooms to local companies and individuals for a range of purposes that includes, but it’s not limited to, teaching dance and modeling for kids and adults, to rehearsal space for choirs and other musicians, to different types of seminars and visual arts workshops. Closely collaborating with other initiatives under The Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural and Educational Center, LATEA also organizes yearly art exhibitions, in the context of the Borimix Puerto Rico Fest and offers the theater’s walls to promote local visual artists. Join our efforts of developing the arts in the heart of the Lower-East Side of New York.
