March 27th is time for World Theater Day, or World Theatre Day if you’re kind of a douche (or British). Chicago was the first city to really go hard for WTD in 2009, and remains at the top of its game, but each of our cities has vibrant communities of Latino artists creating work on the stage all year round. Remezcla’s giving you the rundown of current and upcoming Latin theater(re) in Miami, New York, Chicago, San Francisco and LA. Celebrate WTD and take in some culture, you bum.
