R&H Theatricals is an Imagem company: rnh.com T E AT R O D E L P U E B L O (Co-Collaborator) Teatro del Pueblo was founded in 1992 by a group of Latino artists and community members on the West Side of Saint Paul, in the heart of the city’s Latino population. Early in our history, the community called upon Teatro to create a theatrical presentation addressing a local school shooting. The project provided a platform for

constructive discussion regarding the event and brought closure to a community on edge. This event secured Teatro’s position as a community leader in providing a forum for marginalized voices, and as an advocate for social change. Teatro del Pueblo is currently the only professional Latino theatre with both an established touring and artistic main stage programs in Minnesota and bordering states. The company produces Latino-inspired work that blends traditional Latin American theatrical expression with the Latino bicultural experience. This work provides often under-represented Latino artists with the opportunity to perform, earn income, and educate audiences about Latino culture. Furthermore, Teatro has provided training opportunities for Latino talent through workshops and productions. Our audience is a rich blend of many cultures and ages. We are committed to continuing to further enrich and strengthen our communities through the promotion of diversity and educational programs celebrating Latino culture. We are excited about teaming up with the Ordway to create musical performance training opportunities for diverse communities while developing new, equitable collaborative models between our organizations. O R D WAY C E N T E R F O R T H E P E R F O R M I N G A RT S (Producer) The Ordway is widely recognized as one of the nation’s leading nonprofit performing arts centers and Saint Paul’s most elegant and inviting performance space.

He has been a leader and innovator in the performing arts for over thirty years. Jamie was previously the President and CEO of the Long Center for the Performing Arts in Austin, Texas.

He focused on audience development efforts and looked for ways to maximize and monetize the opportunities. In Jamie’s first full year at the helm, the Long Center had growing audiences and a small surplus, and continued on that trend for three years. He spent thirteen years as the General Manager of the Centre in the Square in Kitchener, Ontario, and was responsible for opening three performing arts centers: Imperial Theatre in Saint John, New Brunswick, Brampton Theatre Office, and Skylight Theatre in Toronto. Jamie was a founding member of Canada’s Magetic North Theatre Festival, and served as Chairman of the Board; and eyeGO to the Arts — a national program to encourage youth to attend the performing arts. Jamie was an adjunct lecturer at the University of Waterloo for nearly a decade, and is a sought-after speaker and facilitator.
