Half a Century Opening Doors
When IATI Theater was founded in 1968, we believed in our dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Fast forward to 2024, and here we are—full of life and ready to dance our way into the next 56 years! With each step, we’ve embraced our mission: to open our doors wide for Hispanic actors, writers, directors, and artists to share stories that mirror our culture and vibrant experiences.
Now, after 15 years in our beloved home, we’re thrilled to unveil the final touch of our renovation: a brand-new lobby that sparkles with possibilities! We’re throwing a fabulous gala to celebrate this milestone, and we want YOU there with us! This evening will be a festive tribute to our rich history and a heartfelt acknowledgment of all your support that keeps us thriving.
Join us for an evening filled with joy, laughter, and community spirit as we raise funds to ensure that IATI Theater remains a cherished Hispanic theater landmark in the pulsating heart of New York City.
Let’s toast to our past, our present, and the dazzling future ahead!
