GALA Hispanic Theatre

GALA (Grupo de Artistas LatinoAmericanos) Hispanic Theatre is a theater located at 3333 14th St NW in Washington, D.C.

It hosts plays in Spanish and English, as well as dance, music, poetry, spoken word, art and films.

Their playwrights and their actors are of Hispanic heritage, hailing from countries including Argentina, Mexico, Spain, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Peru.

In 1976, the same year GALA was founded, the Tivoli Theatre (Washington, D.C.) was closed after protests and civil unrest caused the neighborhood it resided in to collapse.

Due to this influence the plays that are performed by this company offer social commentary at every turn and touch on topics affecting the economic and political status of Latinx people.
