Answer» What is Latinx Theatre Commons mean? The Latinx Theatre Commons (LTC) is a national movement launched in 2012, which promotes Latino equity in American theater through convening, scholarship, advocacy, and art. The goals, activities, and methods of its actions are determined, championed, and carried out by the LTC's volunteer, self-organized steering committee of predominantly U.S.-based theater-makers and scholars of Latina/o/x theater, working together and with community partners around the country. The LTC was founded by eight well-known Latinx playrights, directors, and scholars, led by Karen Zacarias, who was hailed by American Theater Magazine as one of the most produced playrights in the United States and who was named as a United States Artists Fellow in 2021. The group included Antonio Sonera, Kristoffer Diaz, Anne García-Romero, Lisa Portes, Tlaloc Rivas, Jose Luis Valenzuela, and Enrique Urueta. Abigail Vega served as the first LTC producer from 2014-2019. Beginning in May 2019, Armando Huipe succeeded Vega as the LTC Producer. reference
