ART AS A TOOL FOR
SOCIAL CHANGE

MISSION

Teatro Experimental Yerbabruja’s mission is to use experimental theater and the arts to inspire social change, strengthen cultural understanding, and connect communities. We support professional and emerging artists, center immigrant and historically underrepresented voices, and create welcoming opportunities for artistic expression, learning, and civic dialogue.

Inspired by the yerbabruja, a medicinal plant from Puerto Rico, that thrives in the harshest conditions. We celebrate the resilience, creativity, and transformative power of our communities.

VISION

We envision vibrant, equitable, and sustainable communities where the arts are part of everyday life and everyone has the opportunity to create, belong, and shape our shared future. Grounded in racial justice, we see a future where the voices and contributions of people of color, immigrants, and historically underrepresented communities are valued and celebrated. In this future, artistic expression reflects the cultures, lived experiences, and aspirations of the people who call each community home, strengthening connections and inspiring lasting social change.
