Olivia Barrera

Theater Director and Educator.

The opportunity to unite people has kept me working in theater my entire life. Outside fictional worlds, compromising with others can seem nearly impossible. On stage, however, we identify our own human struggles and conflicts through other's lives, which opens our mind to the possibility of transforming what once seemed impossible. This experience is not only reserved for the audience. As practitioners of theater, each play we envision, each character we embody, or each space we design, gives us new perspectives that change who we were. My artistic vision is driven by the desire to generate on stage new conversations that links both audience and artists for good.
