The Journey to Art With A Purpose

El director y coreógrafo puertorriqueño Luis Salgado , reconocido por su trabajo en Broadway,  recientemente inauguró su propio teatro en el estado de Massachusetts. Junto con su organización, R.Evolución Latina, Salgado ha trabajado incansablemente a lo largo de los años para llevar las artes a la juventud latina   en diferentes ciudades y en Nueva York. La oportunidad de crear Luis Salgado Playhouse surgió a través de su trabajo con Lawrence High School en Massachusetts durante la pandemia, donde fue invitado a participar en sus talleres y crear conciencia en una comunidad muy latinoamericana. “Bienvenidos al Luis Salgado Playhouse , un lugar donde los jóvenes pueden arriesgarse y jugar/crear en una casa de teatro segura, apoyados por mentores y maestros que los aman. Este es el círculo completo de donde vengo y mi compromiso con la escuela ahora es para siempre”, escribió Salgado en una publicación en Instagram. Con este paso adelante, Salgado continúa su misión por el mundo

On Your Feet' director Luis Salgado's goal is to bring others in Hispanic community into theater. Luis Salgado has performed on Broadway. And now, he's a driving force behind-the-scenes, supporting others getting their chance on stage in the showbiz spotlight. "On Your Feet!

  Help us Get There We are proud of our mission and the service we provide through our different programs. We want to share with you one of the key programs that R.Evolución Latina offers—our  Dare 2 Go Beyond Performing Arts Summer Camp.  Do you know how much it costs per child to participate in a summer camp in New York City?  An estimated cost is  $850/week per child!!!  For the past 16 years we have consistently offered a week-long summer camp for thousands o f  kids   FREE  of charge . Typically, a camp of this kind, with highly talented professionals that teach dancing, singing, and acting, would cost an exorbitant amount. We are appreciative to have built relationships with incredible artists. We are proud to grant  tuition-free  admission to children of families that otherwise wouldn't have access to this camp experience.
