OUR STORY
Teatro Tariakuri is a nonprofit community arts organization established in Chicago in 2004.Teatro Tariakuri under the leadership of Karla Lopez Galvan-Raigoza Artistic Director has created a non-for-profit theatrical and cultural center in their three-year-old theater house located at 3117 W 63rd St. In the heart of Inglewood, Marquette Park and surrounding neighborhoods. On July 14th, 2020, Tarakuri theatre officially became 501c3 and it could not have happened at a more crucial time.
OUR MISSION
To uplift families and let them know that there are creative options for their children and their dance experiences for them to enjoy. Our dance program provides an in-depth education that focuses on creativity and contemporary techniques of dance and theatre rooted in our Latino culture. We strongly believe Great theatre is about challenging thought processes and should not be limited by the language, skin color, economic background, ability, or creed a person is born into; but these differences should be celebrated on Chicago stages so audiences can see themselves represented.
