INGENIO 2020

Virtual Festival of Plays

In 2017 Milagro, Portland's historic Latinx Theatre launched INGENIO, a space where Latino/a/x playwrights of all races can develop their plays in a safe, supportive environment with mentors and artists to whom they can relate and support their script being driven to the next stage of production.

 

 

 

 

INGENIO 2020 offers the opportunity for collaboration beyond geographical limitations, being produced this year in association with Teatros Unidos, an emerging collective of Latinx theatre organizations. In addition to Milagro, readings will be presented by Baktun12 & Borderlands Theater, Cara Mía Theatre & Teatro Vivo, In The Margin Theatre, Teatro Luna West, and TuYo Theatre.

ISH: Immigrant Scholarship Hustle

A program for Undocumented youth, by Undocumented youth 

 

ISH empowers students to tell their stories, learn how to use their lived experiences to expand their education and employment options, and ultimately advocate for their immigrant community. Students leave ISH with the support networks, community resources and confidence to apply to college, jobs, and more.

 

Approximately 2,000 Undocumented youth graduate from Arizona high schools every year, with most lacking the institutional guidance and supportive network they deserve. We are re-envisioning post-secondary educational pathways that honor the knowledge, resilience, and power of Undocumented youth. 

 

OUR CAMPAIGN: "WE ARE ISH" is all about leveraging community networks and power to redistribute resources to Undocumented youth in Arizona. Join us by making a donation today! Campaign dates: September 4th - 30th.
