International Festivals of Hispanic Theater

Our International Festival of Hispanic Theater is perhaps our best-known activity.

Since 1998, we have brought productions from Spain, the Caribbean and all the Americas for three to ten performances each during a six-week extravaganza.

We regularly receive requests from theater companies around the world eager to participate in our festival. Productions selected annually represent some of the best of each countries theatrical offerings. Many of them have won – or been nominated for – awards.

Plays range from light comedy through farce and drama to deep tragedy. Styles vary from naturalism to absurdism. We have been honored to host many of Latin America’s finest actors, directors and technicians during our festivals.

All performances held in our regular theater include live English dubbing. Theater for children and young people has traditionally been incorporated in our festivals.

By spotlighting well-known subjects and authors, Teatro de la Luna serves its basic mission and also introduces new generations to live theater, providing an opportunity for families to share a positive theatrical experience. Our International Festival of Hispanic Theater is regularly a participant in the region’s ‘Stages for All Ages’, sponsored by the League of Washington Theatres and The Washington Post.
