The only Latino children's theater company in the city. All of its fairytale- and folklore-inspired shows are bilingual, so English speaking kids won't get lost, and they may learn a few words of Spanish to boot (without parents having to suffer through another oddly paced episode of Dora).
Teatro SEA was founded by Dr. Manuel A. Morán in Puerto Rico 25 years ago, and although the company has outposts in other cities, since 1999 its mainstage has been the 50-seat Los Kabayitos Puppet Theater housed on the second floor of the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural and Educational Center on the Lower East Side.
