TEATRO SEA

The Society of the Educational Arts, is the premiere Bilingual not-profit Arts-in-Education Organization and Latino Children's Theatre in the United States. Founded in 1985 in Puerto Rico, SEA creates and produces a combination of educational theatre productions and art workshops/programs specifically designed to examine, challenge and create possible solutions for current educational, social and community issues.

SEA established operations in New York City in 1993, and has been producing plays since. SEA’s unique integration of the performing arts and Arts-in-Education programs introduces and enriches cultural awareness and a sense of identity, especially in children. Its internationally celebrated programs include school, outdoor, community and main stage performances, workshops and residencies, among others, reaching over 75,000 children and young adults every year.

SEA has offices in San Juan and Florida, but its home base theater is located at Teatro SEA, at the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural & Educational Center on the Lower East Side in New York City. At the Center, Teatro Sea offers a year-round season of professional Puppet and Children’s Theater, as well as Art & Puppetry Workshops. The organization also provides a Technical Training Program, sponsored by The Theatre Subdistrict Council, which aims to elevate the skill level of minority theatre technicians by giving them on the job training and real world working experience.

The Society of Educational Arts was founded by Dr. Manuel A. Morán, who currently is the CEO and Artistic Director.

Teatro SEA has a vast repertory of theatre and puppetry, for both children and adults. Every season (beginning in September until the end of May) Teatro SEA introduces new theatre and puppetry works, often based on Latin stories.
