INTAR (Theatrical company : New York, N.Y.)

INTAR Theatre is one of the oldest Hispanic theater companies in the United States. International Arts Relation, Inc. (INTAR) was founded in New York in 1966 as Asociación de Arte Latinoamericano (ADAL) by a group of Cuban and Puerto Rican writers and artists. Cuban-born Max Ferrá served as INTAR's artistic director since its founding until 2004, when Cuban-American playwright Eduardo Machado assumed artistic leadership of the organization. In its early years, INTAR focused on producing in Spanish the works of significant European and American playwrights. In the 1970s, the organization began producing works in English by Iberoamerican and Latino writers. The theater company has built on this strength and emphasizes new works that reflect the cultural heritage and concerns of the Hispanic community in the United States. Works have included drama, musicals, children's theater, collaborative visual arts and theater creations, and traveling productions.
