The Fornés Institute, an initiative of the Latinx Theatre Commons (LTC), amplifies and preserves the legacy of María Irene Fornés, playwright, teacher, and artist, through gatherings and advocacy. The Institute holds monthly meetings welcoming U.S. and international scholars and practitioners to illuminate and offer dramaturgical support to upcoming Fornesian projects. This website acts as a clearinghouse for information about upcoming productions and new scholarship on Fornés. The institute also convenes in-person workshops, symposia and festivals. Current members of the Institute are listed below.
