Urban Theater Company shares stories that are rich in culture, professionally presented, and intimately enjoyed. As an anchor in the community, UTC provides an opportunity for Puerto Rican and Latinx playwrights, directors, actors and the production team to express their creativity with their audiences in a robust yet family-like atmosphere. For over a decade, I've enjoyed the exhilaration and passion that are at the heart and soul of Urban Theater Company.

I am an avid supporter of the arts and love the theater. After seeing my first production by the Urban Theater Company, I was immediately sold. Aside from the fact that the theater has put on some of the most amazing productions, it strives to serve the community. The talent demonstrated by the cast of every production I have seen has been amazing. The CEO is unbelievably talented and so humble. This theater is in the center of Humboldt Park, a community busting at the seams with talent, and it shows its support for the community through its productions. The Urban Theater Company is one to keep your eye on. The fact that they are professional, humble, talented, caring, etc. tells me this is one company that is going to go far. Thank you Urban Theater Company for the wonderful work you do.

Keep your eyes on this wonderful group of people. They are destined for greatness!
