Teatro Visión's current 3-year strategic plan describes four Pillars and five key Objectives that guide our work and our service to our community in a changing world.
Our Pillars, FY2027-2029
Querencia
Create brave Latinx theater that fosters strong community belonging and ignites civic engagement for social justice.
Querencia describes a profound sense of sanctuary and home, where we fiercely protect community stories, narratives, and identities. Our theater performances and events make our participants feel seen and truthfully represented, reflecting the languages they speak and the details of their local and cultural landscape. These powerful shared theatrical experiences create strong ties among our neighbors, building the solidarity and mutual understanding needed to advance social movements and advocate for change.
Arraigo
Nurture our community’s deep-rooted creativity, inviting participation that guides our storytelling and shapes our work.
Arraigo describes our collective creative capacity rooted in ingrained cultural memory. We bring to life a core belief that creativity is innate to all people, is a vital force for positive change, and is at its strongest when grounded in a shared heritage. Our community applauds the fact that at Teatro Visión, audiences are active participants rather than passive observers. Across our programs, we cultivate an environment of trust and reciprocity, encouraging neighbors and families to contribute their own wisdom and ingenuity to the creation of powerful teatro.
Soltura
Build open, accessible pathways to theater opportunities and experiences beyond systemic barriers and extend our reach outside the theater.
Soltura is the act of moving unbound with fluidity and ease, to surpass ordinary limits and apparent barriers. We create pathways into the arts through classes, vocational opportunities for youth, and accessibility initiatives that ensure that historical obstacles do not limit the availability of transformative theater to our majority-Latinx community. We take theater directly into our community, to the places our audiences live, play, and work.
Templanza
Build adaptive strength and resiliency needed to remain a reliable, responsive anchor for our community in a changing world.
Templanza is the fortitude, balance, and responsive resilience required to meet our community’s needs, especially in times of uncertainty. Teatro Visión draws strength from deep cultural conviction and strategic agility, recognizing that our communities face continuous threats, including economic displacement and a volatile political climate. We do not seek to react to these challenges; instead, we respond with a measured strength that allows us to pivot our artistic and advocacy tools to serve as an immediate resource and refuge for our people.
