Teatro Palo Alto
Teatro Palo Alto is the producing arm of the Palo Alto College drama program. There are four shows per season, with two shows during the fall semester and two in the spring. The department operates out of two theatre spaces: a 400-seat auditorium and a 100-seat black box theatre.
Teatro Palo Alto strives to create high quality theatre experience for the bilingual, multicultural community in South San Antonio. Diversity, including gender, is also a cornerstone to our vision, with at least half of the productions each season being written by women. It is crucial for the health of the community to see itself represented in popular culture and the arts. Teatro Palo Alto seeks to bridge the representation chasm that exists in the arts.

About the Production
Bella Goes to Tamalli Land is making its world premiere! During the spring semester, students and community members brought the story to life through a series of staged readings, joined by the author of the original children's book of the same title.
The readings gave audiences a chance to experience the developing production and share their feedback. Their ideas and reactions helped shape the script into its final form. Now, the cast and creative team are hard at work as rehearsals are officially underway. Soon, Bella Goes to Tamalli Land will make its journey from the page to the stage!
