Event Showcases Talents of Latino Youth

Traditional dance, poetry and music are just some of the art forms that will featured tonight at an event to recognize and celebrate the talents of Rochester's Latino youth.

Annette Ramos, executive director of the Rochester Latino Theatre Company, says artistic performances have a way of uniting people of different cultures.         

"We've had many times in our audiences, non-Latinos that have said, 'that's exactly my family,' or 'that’s my story,' so it really opens a bridge for understanding and communication."

RLTC's Latino Youth Showcase is free and starts tonight at 7:30 at the Multi-use Community Cultural Center at 142 Atlantic Avenue.

It's part of a larger, week-long event that has included an art show and other performances.
