Aguijón Theater

Founded in 1989 by Colombian born theater director Rosario Vargas, Aguijón Theater is the oldest Latinx theater company in Chicago.[1][2] Aguijón Theater produces Spanish language plays, musicals, and bilingual spoken word performances by Latin American and Latinx playwrights and performers. Aguijón had its headquarters at Truman College from 1989 until 1999 when it acquired an intimate venue that accommodates 65 red velvet seats on North Laramie Avenue in Chicago.[1] The company has examined women's social conditions, power dynamics between landowners and oppressed workers and the marginalization of indigenous populations
