Alameda Theatre Company needs your support.

Alameida Theatre Company would like to thank everyone who supported our theatre company this past year. Your presence at our events and/or your financial support for the creation of Canada's first professional Latin American theatre company means so much.

Without your support we could not have created the De Colores Festival of New Works, the first Latin American-Canadian playwrights unit in the history of Canadian theatre or El Barrio, an online community of Latin American artists from across the country. We certainly would not be able to produce the much anticipated world premiere of The Refugee Hotel by one of Canada's most interesting and engaging playwrights, Carmen Aguirre. We are very excited that this beautiful and inspiring piece of work will have its time on the stage this coming fall!

In order to continue to create outstanding theatre by Latin American Canadian artists and playwrights we need your support once again.

I invite you personally to our first fundraiser- the Peña. Please join us on March 20, 2009 to celebrate and support Latin Canadian theatre!

The Refugee Hotel Fund

If you can't make it to the peña: Alameda's Annual Fundraiser, we invite you to become a patron and supporter of the arts by giving to Alameda Theatre Company's latest project, the world premiere production of The Refugee Hotel by Chilean- Canadian playwright Carmen Aguirre.
This much anticipated play, written by one of Canada's most distinct voices, takes place after Chile's 1973 coup as the first wave of Chilean refugees arrive at a Vancouver Hotel, later to become known as The Refugee Hotel. Moving, heartrending, filled with music of the era and laugh-out-loud moments, this play will touch all Canadians who have come from somewhere else and are trying to make a new life in Canada. The Refugee Hotel beautifully captures the immigrant experience in our country, making it a very relevant and Canadian story.
