National Theatre Company of Mexico

The company was restructured in 2008 and had since been headed by director Luis de Tavira until 2017, when they chose Enrique Singer to take his place to direct the permanent cast of about forty members.

[1] One main aspect of this restructuring was the creation of "artists-in-residence" positions to allow the organization to have a permanent cast, which can dedicate itself to the company full-time.

These positions are two-year contracts which are renewable, and funded by Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (Fonca).

The creation of the cast was considered essential to creating improving the theatre company for training and to give the resident artists time to develop new and interdisciplinary projects.

[2] Some of the actors who have worked with the company since 2008 are Luis Rabago, Julieta Egurrola, Luisa Huertas, Mercedes Pascual, Diego Jáuregui, Roberto Soto and Arturo Beristáin.

[5] Other works in its repertory include Ni el sol ni la muerte pueden mirarse de frente (2009), Edip en Colofón (2009), Ser es ser visto (2009), Egmont (2009), Horas de gracia (2010), Zoot Suit (2010), The Misunderstanding (2010), Natán el sabio (2010) y Endgame (2010).

[8] Other pieces created and/or performed by the company include those by Mexican writers Mario Espinasa and Flavio González Melo.
