Teatro Vista, the long-running Chicago theater company specializing in the Latinx experience, will receive an honorary prize at next month’s Equity Jeff Awards, the awards committee announced Tuesday.
The announcement of the Special Equity Jeff Award said Teatra Vista, founded in 1989 by actors Henry Godinez and Eddie Torres, “has enriched the Chicago theatre scene with haunting, humorous, historical and magical stories.”
The company is about to open the Midwest premiere of Evelina Fernández’s “Hope: Part II of a Mexican Trilogy” at the Den Theatre as part of the Destinos festival.
The 51st annual Equity Jeff Awards ceremony honoring excellence in professional theatre produced within the greater Chicago area will be held Oct. 21 at Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook Terrace.
