The Ones That Didn't Make It
In American history, Hispanics have been pushed aside and kept out "the room[s] where it happen[s]". Even in the most liberal of spaces, such as the theatre, we would only be let in as the comic relief or to represent a culture that is not our own. This is not through lack of trying. Below are shows about the Hispanic experience, that even though they had great success off Broadway , the Great White Way did not welcome them in.
