Milagro (theatre)

Milagro, sometimes referred to as Milagro Theatre or Teatro Milagro, formerly as Miracle Theatre or Miracle Theatre Group, is the premier Latino arts, culture and heritage organization in the Pacific Northwest. Its home is in Portland, Oregon, United States. It was founded in 1985.

The theatre produces a mainstage season from around September to May every year, complimented by several smaller events and community engagement activities both at and outside of the El Centro Milagro building. Prior to 2019, a touring company known as Teatro Milagro operated, showing original productions in spanish and english internationally by partnering with schools and universities. The Teatro Milagro name has since been used to refer to the mainstage productions and the organization overall. In the 2020s, the touring company was reworked into the Arts Education Program, where teaching artists host classes and seminars based on programming from the mainstage.

Milagro also sponsors the annual Latino Artist Fund, which awards thousands of dollars a year to local artists.
