Sin Muros Latinx Theater Festival Completes 7th Season on Stages in Houston

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Sin Muros: Latinx Theater Festival just wrapped up with its final show in Houston on May 26.

Sin Muros celebrates its seventh season and features a range of Latinx voices and stories that reflect the diversity of Texas. Their organizer, César Jaques, described it as a celebration of Latinx culture and art with a focus on diversity within the diaspora.

The festival invites Houstonians to participate in play readings, workshops and celebrations led by Latinx artists and creators.

Stages, a Houston performing arts theater, relies on a collaborative committee comprised of activists, educators, grassroots organizers and other important local leaders.

For this year’s festival, committee members selected four plays that explore humanity, heartbreak, cultural conflicts within Latinx communities, and acceptance of life-changing news.

As part of the festival, Stages hosted the Premio Puente (the Bridge Award). The Premio Puente was established to recognize the exceptional contributions of leaders in the Latinx arts community in the Houston area.

Recipients are celebrated during the festival and receive a one-of-a-kind award presented by renowned artist Joseph Blanchard.
