Voices that recognize our work
Over the years, Gente de Teatro has been recognized for its commitment to culture, artistic quality, and its contribution to the Spanish-speaking community. We proudly share some of their comments.
“As a Houstonian of Hispanic origin and a person who appreciates the diversity of artistic cultural experiences, I welcome Gente de Teatro, a local Spanish language theater production group, to the Uniquely Houston Partners of Hobby Center. Through the years, I have had the pleasure of attending many professional productions of Gente de Teatro. Now, I can share outstanding international dramatic productions with the growing Spanish speaking audience of this region” (2011)

“My colleagues and I make the two-hour drive to Houston to see all of Gente de Teatro's plays because of the high quality and professional performances this group produces time and again.”

“I have attended most of the productions presented by Gente de Teatro over the years. They are the only Spanish-language theater group that has kept us abreast of the latest developments in theater productions in Spanish America. The actors that are part of this group are undoubtedly some of the best Hispanic actors in Texas. I saw the play Made in Argentina when it opened in Buenos Aires. Gente de Teatro's current production of the play is just as good, or maybe a tad better, than the original production" (2011)

"It's a privilege to have a theater company (and in Spanish) of this caliber in Houston.
The professionalism with which they work makes one feel very proud to be Latino.” (2025)
