About the Show

Rooted in Purpose: 20 Years of Art & Impact

Celebrating two decades of culture, creativity, and community.

For 20 years, UrbanTheater Company (UTC) has been a cultural hub in Humboldt Park, championing the voices of the Puerto Rican Diaspora and BIPOC communities. Through storytelling, mentorship, and education, we have archived Chicago’s history, nurtured new artistic works, and fostered a brave space for cultural expression.

Our 20th Anniversary Gala is more than a celebration—it’s a commitment to our future. This milestone evening will unite artists, supporters, and community leaders to honor our legacy while raising essential funds to expand programming, develop new initiatives, and deepen our impact. As we continue to grow, we are dedicated to amplifying authentic narratives and evolving as a vital force in Chicago’s arts and culture landscape.

Join us for an unforgettable night of dinner, dancing, and live performances that embody the richness of our culture and artistic spirit. Let’s honor our past, celebrate our present, and build a bold future—together.
