Water People Theater

Water People Theater (WPT) is a Latina and immigrant-led nonprofit organization that believes in the transformative power of theater. WPT has produced socially engaged bilingual and inclusive programming for over two decades.

WPT’s mission is to leverage the power of high-quality performances and educational offerings to advance social values and defend human rights. WPT aims to inspire diverse audiences to become changemakers contributing to more equitable, just, and inclusive communities.

The name, “WATER PEOPLE” is born from Venezuelan roots and is inspired by the term that names one of our indigenous ethnicities: Yekuana, people on the wood that opens paths in the water.

The very essence of the organization is rooted in Venezuelan heritage, where WPT draws inspiration, passion, and a deep reverence for the stage. WPT is driven by an unwavering commitment to upholding Human Rights and embracing the principles of social and environmental responsibility.

We believe in the transformative power of Theater.
