Cara Mía Theatre is entering a transformative era marked by record-breaking engagement, global collaborations, and powerful youth impact. The Cara Mía Theatre Legacy Fund will sustain this momentum by strengthening our artistic vision, educational programs, and the creative leadership that empowers communities to say YES to their futures. Our work continues to grow because of supporters like you.

The Cara Mía Theatre's Legacy Fund fuels our seven core pillars from cultural festivals to transformative youth programs, Cara Mía has grown tremendously in impact and reach, and we need your help to sustain the community you have helped us create. 

Your monthly or annual donation sustains and expands these programs and helps us reach more students, families, and audiences across North Texas and globally.

Together, let’s nurture a vibrant national home for Latinx theatre and continue to empower the next generation.

Cara Mia Theatre announces the inaugural year of the Jesse Tafalla, Jr. Scholarship Fund to provide college scholarships and general support for high school seniors participating in the School of YES! leadership program.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to make college a reality for high school seniors who are graduating from Cara Mia Theatre's innovative leadership program at the School of YES!

Jesse lived to serve his community. He was an active member of many organizations including Rainbow LULAC, Stonewall Democrats, Dallas County Democratic Party, and the MLK Jr. Community Center Board. He was a champion of numerous social causes and political campaigns, encouraging those around him to engage in electrical politics and community actions. Above all, his love for family and friends was unconditional. He was always present for special occasions and to lend a hand of support.

This scholarship fund is our way to honor him and encourage young leaders to follow his example of love and service for others each and every day.
