Preferred term

el teatro campesino  

Definition

  • El Teatro Campesino, or the Farm Workers’ Theater, was founded in 1965 as the cultural, educational, and theatrical arm of the incipient farm workers’ union being organized by the late César Chávez and Dolores Huerta in Delano, California. Best-known for its participation in the early unionizing efforts of the 1960s, the Teatro has continued to produce important theatrical works that illuminate the sociopolitical condition of Mexicans, Chicanos, and other marginalized peoples living in the United States.
