Los Angeles: September 17-19, 2026
Welcome to Los Angeles!
AHCT will hold its Annual Spanish Golden Age Theater Symposium on the beautiful campus of the University of California, Los Angeles in conjunction with the LA Escena Los Angeles Festival of Hispanic Classical Theater in September 2026.
AHCT boasts a proud nearly 40-year history of supporting performances of early modern Spanish plays at the Chamizal International Siglo de Oro Drama Festival held annually at the Chamizal National Memorial in El Paso, Texas from 1979 to 2019. Sadly, the festival was discontinued in 2020 and has not revived. AHCT now continues its mission to encourage the performance of Spain’s classical theater in Spanish and in translation with our efforts to support festivals and companies that stage these plays in other venues and in exciting ways to reach new audiences. This year we are pleased to again collaborate with UCLA’s Diversifying the Classics project and their 5th biennial Festival of Hispanic Classical Theater!
