After a weekend of taking in new work and getting to know other theatre makers and artists we’ll take a moment to reflect on the last few days, what is resonating with each of us, and how we will continue this work beyond our time together.
About the 2026 Latinx Theatre Commons Carnaval of New Latinx Musicals
The Latinx Theatre Commons is headed to San Diego with the 2026 LTC Carnaval of New Latinx Musicals! Carnaval will take place 28-30 August 2026, produced in partnership with the University of California San Diego Department of Theatre and Dance, La Jolla Playhouse, and TuYo Theatre.
Join us for the pachanga! Carnaval will be an exuberant celebration of Latinx music and storytelling. It will bring together Latinx theatremakers and theatre decision makers from across the nation to amplify, illuminate, and forward Latinx musical theatre.
The Carnaval serves as an intervention to combat the patterned absence of authentic representation by uplifting Latinx musical theatre writers, composers, lyricists, directors, and music directors. The Carnaval will also feature the rich talent of Latinx musical theatre performers in the Southern California region, and involve participants in rich conversations about the state of Latinx music and musical theatre.
