AMERICAN THEATRE: It is no secret that Chicago is home to legendary godparents of Latiné theatre, folks with artistry as magnificent as their warm personalities. In chronicling Destinos, Chicago Latino Theater Alliance’s annual, international festival, several names come up who have fought for space: director Henry Godinez, writer Tanya Saracho, National Museum of Mexican Art founder Carlos Tortolero, and, chief among them, CLATA co-founder and executive director Myrna Salazar, who passed last summer. The impact of such trailblazers cannot be overstated, as we see the stories and storytellers they’ve uplifted spread as far and wide as good chisme.
