THE 2026 TEATRO ESPEJO SUMMER ONE-ACT FESTIVAL
presents
LOS VENDIDOS by Luis Valdez
Directed by Antonio “Tito” Juarez
and
LOOK, A LATINO! by Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas
Directed by Yesenia Lopez
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Join us July 31 - August 2, 2026 at Fat Elephant Theatre to celebrate powerful Latino voices through two dynamic one-act plays: LOS VENDIDOS by Luis Valdez and LOOK, A LATINO! by Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas.
Now in its 9th year, the Teatro Espejo Summer One-Act Festival was created to provide aspiring actors, directors, and designers with the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop their craft completely free. It remains one of Teatro Espejo's most meaningful traditions, creating space for the next generation of teatristas to share their talents with our community.
Each performance features both one-act plays, and admission is FREE with a food donation benefiting our community partners, because great theatre is even better when it brings our community together.
ABOUT THE DIRECTORS
This year's festival features two talented teatristas whose stories are deeply connected to Teatro Espejo.
Antonio "Tito" Juarez, who joined Espejo in 1985, has directed, acted, and appeared in several stage plays and films, including Teatro Espejo’s widely acclaimed production of ZOOT SUIT. A longtime member of our artistic family, Tito brings decades of experience and passion to this year's festival.
Yesenia Lopez has been part of Teatro Espejo since 2012 and has performed in both semi-professional and professional productions, including Teatro Espejo’s productions of THE WOMEN OF JUAREZ. The Teatro Espejo Summer One-Act Festival marks her directorial debut, and we're thrilled to celebrate this exciting milestone with her.
Join us as these talented artists bring these stories to life and continue the tradition of creating theatre that reflects, challenges, and celebrates our comunidad.
