2025 Latinidades Theatre Festival Kick Off!

Part of the 6th Annual Latinidades Theatre Festival

Celebrate the opening of the 6th Latinidades Festival with this FREE evening of poetry, music, theatre, food and an open market – all taking place throughout the Latino Cultural Center!

Join us for a FREE open-mic night of poetry, music, and theatre. Bring your original poem or song — in English or Spanish — or just bring your friends to enjoy an evening of spoken word, music, and movement.

Featuring new, short theatre works by Dallas artists led by Escultores del Aire (Spain), and an open mic with live music hosted by DaVerse Lounge (Dallas), this high-energy festival kickoff launches three weeks of arte y cultura in English and Español!

For those curious about sharing their inspiration, your hosts Will Richey and Alejandro Perez will guide you in creating a poem on the spot and sharing it with the crowd — no experience necessary. Come and go, enjoy the performances, or take the mic yourself!

All ages welcome.
