ABSTRACT
Based in El Progreso, Yoro, Honduras, Teatro La Fragua has been creating theatre for over four decades. Founded in 1979 by Jesuit priest Jack Warner, La Fragua uses poor theatre aesthetics and rigorous actor training to serve community needs, celebrate Honduran culture, bring education and theatre to multi-generational audiences, collaborate with international artists, and tour productions around the world. La Fragua translates to “the forge,” and the company indeed figures itself as such: a site through which Hondurans might tend their past, care for their present and imagine and enact a future.
