Arca Images, Inc.

ARCA Images is one of the premiere producers of theater in Miami, in both Spanish and English, which captures the Hispanic experience and appeals to South Florida Latino and other audiences. ARCA produces an unusually large number of productions and events with very lean staffing through judicious use of resources and strong artistic community support.
It was incorporated in 2001 by co-founder Alexa Kuve, who is now Executive Director, Producer, and Resident Actor; and Larry Villanueva, now Resident Director, Education Director, and Actor. Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Nilo Cruz joined the team in 2013 as the company's Artistic Director and Resident Playwright, developing Spanish translations of his original works, as well as world premieres of his English plays, and presenting them under his own direction to bilingual audiences via live simultaneous interpretation.
Villanueva provides ongoing theater instruction for teens and adults and presents educational plays yearly.
ARCA has presented several works by Nilo Cruz under his own direction, including "Exquisite Agony," "Sotto Voce," "Bathing in Moonlight," "Lorca in a Green Dress," "The Color of Desire," "Tsunami," "Beauty of the Father," "Hortensia and the Museum of Dreams," and "Hurricane," among others. ARCA has also presented classics such as "Uncle Vanya" by Anton Chekhov, directed by Nilo Cruz in Spanish.
ARCA also presents dramatic readings, as well as musical programs as part of its mission to promote Hispanic performing arts to diverse Miami audiences and has partnered with local organizations as Coconut Grove Playhouse, MDC's Tower Theater, Miami Dade Public Library System and School Board, and Teatro Avante, among others.
ARCA's audiences reflect Miami's diverse, majority Latino population, and our educational programs serve a large percentage of Latino youth.
