TEATRX is bringing back La Vida Es Cortos / Life Is Shorts Festival for the second year! The festival will once again bring Latinx stories to the stage and screen in new and exciting ways. This year’s lineup includes a 14-minute musical, 21 Chump Street: The Musical , by Hamilton star Lin Manuel Miranda, and a short film by native Houstonian Vannessa Vasquez of Hulu’s East Los High . Along with 21 Chump Street: The Musical , TEATRX will produce two plays chosen after a nationwide call for short plays. On behalf of TEATRX, Laura Moreno will direct, The Party Favor , by Julián Mesri. The second play, A Volunteer by Marian Licha will be directed and acted by members of Teatro Indigo. This year’s festival will also feature the Spanish language play, El Espejo by Emilio Carballido directed by RS Producciones, and a dance theatre piece written and choreographed by Adam Castaneda of Pilot Dance Project.Read more

Ticket Information
TEATRX tickets are "Pay-What-You-Will". As a Latinx Theatre company we believe in making theatre accessible. We understand that for some a $25 ticket is beyond their means. We want our audience to pick a ticket price that suits their budget.
TEATRX recommended ticket price for this event is $25. This by no means will cover the cost of the festival but will allow us to make sure everyone is paid for their work. If you are passionate about advancing Latinx theatre arts, enjoyed the festival, and you have the means, please consider purchasing tickets for up to $45.
Seating is general admission (open seating). The theater will open approximately 30 minutes before the performance begins.
We cannot guarantee immediate seating after the performance has begun. Latecomers will only be admitted in a suitable break in the performance.
Wheelchair accessible seating is available to individuals who require wheelchair accessible seating themselves or to someone purchasing on their behalf.
