The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center (GCAC) is excited to announce the return of its Grupo Animo Youth Theater program in partnership with SAY Sí! Annually, the program offers a month-long theater workshop for students aged 13 to 18, providing a unique opportunity for young voices to be heard through the art of performance.

From June 2 to June 27, 2025, participants will engage in a dynamic four-week summer theater experience, guided by professional teaching artists. The workshop will take place Monday through Friday from 1 PM to 6 PM, at SAY Sí!, 1310 S. Brazos, San Antonio, TX 78207. The culmination of this enriching experience will be a live performance on June 28, showcasing the talents and hard work of the Grupo Animo members. This platform not only fosters artistic skills but also encourages personal growth and confidence among participants.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with SAY Sí! once again to provide this invaluable opportunity for our youth,” said Jorge Piña, Guadalupe Theater Dept. Director and Grupo Animo Founder. “Grupo Animo is more than just a theater program; it’s a space where young people can explore their identities and share their stories through the transformative power of theater.”
