A-Tipico
DETAILS APPLICATIONTeatro Chelsea is now accepting submissions for its fifth A-Típico Latinx New Play Festival, taking place in early 2025!
Teatro Chelsea seeks plays by Latiné playwrights and encourages local, national and international artists to submit full-length plays during our open submission.
A-Típico was born out of a desire to see a more diverse set of stories told about Latiné communities in the United States. This festival’s mission is to foster playwrights and spotlight narratives that break the mold of what is often told about our cultures and families.
Teatro Chelsea highly encourages submissions that are bilingual (English/Español) and feature characters that express the diverse ethnicities and identities within the Latiné community.
Following the submission process, Teatro Chelsea will select three (3) plays to receive staged readings in the festival at the Chelsea Theatre Works Black Box in Chelsea, MA.

If you have any questions about application or the A-Típico process please reach out to Armando Rivera at: armando@teatrochelsea.com.

Teatro Chelsea
Teatro Chelsea celebrates Latin cultures, showcases and fosters local talent, builds community in Chelsea through arts engagement and collaboration, and is establishing a hub for Latin artists in the Boston metropolitan area. Teatro Chelsea creates theatre at the crossroads of languages, cultures, and histories that make up the Latin experience, and seeks to amplify and honor the voices that speak to these unique experiences.
Teatro Chelsea welcomes all and brings together people with different talents and passions. Love to sew? You can make costumes. Love to write music? You can create a sound design. You don’t need theatre experience and the time commitment is individual. Adults, youth, groups of friends, and businesses can all be involved. What’s your talent? What do you have to lend? Teatro Chelsea would love to have you!

Teatro Chelsea and The Huntington Collaborate On New Latine Play Reading Initiative
Teatro Chelsea and The Huntington announce a new Latine play reading initiative to collegially explore and celebrate the work of Latine writers with a series of play readings, conversations, and convenings in the coming year.
The two organizations launched this initiative with a reading of Jacuzzi by Cuban playwright and activist Yunior Garcia and translated and directed by Huntington Artist-in-Residence Melinda Lopez at The Huntington Theatre.
The Huntington and Teatro Chelsea have collaborated on past projects, including an online presentation in connection with Teatro Chelsea's production of Sonia Se Fue in 2020 and works included in The Huntington's audio play series Dream Boston, and look forward to deepening their relationship.
