In 1997, Nancy Patiño, a high school teacher in the Providence schools, brought together a group of Latinos active in the arts of poetry, dance, music, and painting, in order to provide young students with extracurricular programming to explore their own cultures. The Educational Center of Arts and Science (ECAS) was born. Francis Parra took over the theater and performing arts program, thus giving birth to Teatro ECAS, an independent 501c3 arts organization. Since then, Teatro ECAS has been the leading Latino theater in New England, presenting classic and contemporary works in Spanish, training a generation of Latino actors, and managing educational programs for all ages. Teatro ECAS has also presented works in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and Cuba. Today, Teatro ECAS is the only Latino repertory theater in New England.
