COMMUNITY RECOGNITION & INVOLVEMENT
One of LETC's major goals is to promote theatre within the Latinocommunity of Chicago and the United States. Many community organizations have opened their doors to LETC and continually show support and recognition for its work. Performances take place at a wide variety of locations, allowing LETC to reach an extensive audience which includes communities generally under-served by theatre. Since, 1987 LETC has performed for over 7,000 people.
