Audiences are welcome to bring slippers or heavy socks to wear for the duration of the performance and can choose from a variety of seating options, both traditional and non-traditional.

International Arts Relations (INTAR Theatre), now in its 58th season, is the nation's oldest theatre company dedicated to commissioning, developing and producing plays by Latin theatre artists at all stages of their careers in English. INTAR Theatre has been at the forefront of promoting diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility for Latin theatre artists in the mainstream U.S. theatre by offering early professional stage credits, access to membership in the national actor and director unions and reviews in English language media outlets. Successive generations of U.S. Latin playwrights trained at INTAR under the tutelage of Mara Irene Forns, whose signature training methodology has been carried forward to the present by those generations of her students who now train other playwrights nationally. Notable alumni of Fornes' Hispanic American Playwrights Lab at INTAR include Caridad Svich, Migdalia Cruz, Ana Maria Simo, Eduardo Machado and Nilo Cruz, who was the first U.S. Latin playwright to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. INTAR's Unit 52 lab for young, non-union Latin actors and stage managers and Max Ferr Beauty in Direction Fellowship program for young Latin stage directors, have broken new ground in recent years in inducting new Latin talent to the professional theatre ranks. INTAR's increasingly digitized historic archives are located at the University of Miami's Cuban Heritage Collection. Visit intartheatre.org for more information.
