Sin Muros: A Latinx Theater Festival

Celebrating Latinx Voices at Stages

Having recently celebrated its ninth anniversary, Sin Muros—without walls—is Stages’s annual festival dedicated to amplifying the voices, stories, and artistic traditions of the broader Latinx diaspora in Texas and beyond.

At the heart of the festival is a new play development program where emerging playwrights workshop original works and share them with audiences through a series of public readings. These developmental presentations help move new plays from the page to the stage, providing artists with valuable resources, feedback, and visibility as they continue their creative journey.

Beyond new play development, Sin Muros fosters community connection through multidisciplinary performances, local artisan markets, free professional development opportunities, and the annual presentation of the El Estreno Puente Prize, which honors individuals whose work has advanced the preservation, celebration, and proliferation of Latinx culture.

One of the festival’s most notable success stories is that drive thru monterey. Featured in the 2024 festival, the play went on to receive its world premiere as part of Stages’s 2025–26 Season, becoming the first work developed through Sin Muros to be fully produced by a professional theater company.

Save the Date

We look forward to celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Sin Muros in Fall 2027.

Additional information, including opportunities for playwrights, directors, actors, designers, artisans, and other participating artists, will be announced in the coming months. Please check back for updates as we begin unveiling plans for this milestone celebration.

In the meantime, we invite you to explore the festival’s impact and join us in supporting the next generation of Latinx artists and storytellers.
