About Miscast 

Miscast Theatre Company, was founded by Alejandro Pesina Ortega, Rebekah Williams, and Ivan Ortega during the summer of 2022.

Having experienced this firsthand, their mission is to provide this for all San Antonio, TX local artists.

 

MISSION

Miscast Theatre Companyโ€™s mission is to provide an inclusive and empowering space for marginalized artists, produce innovative, boundary-pushing theatre, and give back through meaningful community engagement.

 

VISION
