The Potluck

International Arts Relations, Inc (INTAR Theatre) – INTAR is New York City’s oldest Latine theatre company. Now in its 60th season, INTAR’s mission is to commission, develop and produce bold, innovative, artistically significant live theater works generated by Latine artists that make accessible the diversity inherent to America’s cultural heritage. Founder Max Ferrá began International Arts Relations in 1966 as ADAL (Asociasión de Arte Latinoamericano) producing classic works in Spanish, before changing with the community over the years to producing new works largely in English and renaming ADAL to its current name in 1971. Over the decades, INTAR has won Obie Awards, HOLA Awards, government recognitions, earned a Tony nomination and supported countless groundbreaking Latine works and artists. Works have included musicals, operas, plays, festivals, puppetry, and a functioning art gallery at INTAR’s former building on 42nd street. María Irene Fornés’ legendary playwrights lab, the HPRL, was formed and run at INTAR, with alumni including Caridad Svich, Migdalia Cruz, Ana María Simo, Josefina López, Cherrie Moraga, Carmen Rivera, Eduardo Machado and Nilo Cruz, who was the first U.S. Latine playwright to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. In addition to producing vital new works on its mainstage, INTAR continues the tradition of supporting Latine artist development through programs such as NewWorks Lab, UNIT52, and Open Space Salons. Generations of Latine artists have passed through INTAR’s doors in Hell’s Kitchen, supporting a tradition that continues to evolve alongside artists and audiences.” intartheatre.org
