Since the pandemic, the once thriving theatre community in San Miguel de Allende, Mx, has been going through some growing pains in its efforts to reestablish itself in this rich, cultural mecca.
That's why we are bringing a delightful, engaging and highly entertaining form of theatre to the San Miguel community called "solo theatre."
The San Miguel Solo Theatre Festival is designed to ignite your imagination, inspire and provoke you, and delight you in every possible way. Solo Theatre is a thrilling and unique theatrical experience. As the name implies, there is one - or mostly one - actor on stage, often playing a variety of characters to portray their story in an artistic and compelling way.
This carefully curated Solo Theatre Festival brings you a well-balanced blend of dramas & comedies: a personal narrative of an iconic celebrity we love, autobiographical stories of resilience and overcoming personal challenges, an original, inspiring musical, a historical-fiction story about the birthing place of America's famous comics, a powerfully relevant piece of "journalistic theatre", and... a student showcase of solo theatre artists in the making.
Each of these six one-person shows is performed by outstanding, professional solo theatre artists from New York, Chicago, Denver, LA, San Francisco, and San Miguel.
The event also includes Q and A artists' panels, engaging Masterclasses taught by the artists, and a Student Showcase, giving solo artists in the making a chance to share what they're bringing to light!
This festival promises to take San Miguel by storm, and become an established International Solo Theatre Festival with prestige in years to come. We're very grateful for your support - to help us launch this ambitious creative endeavor - in more ways than words can express!
With friends like you, this will be the beginning of something truly remarkable.
THANK YOU!
