San Antonio – The Public Theater of San Antonio announced the creation of a ‘resident company’ that will be comprised of actors from San Antonio.

In a press release on Thursday, the theater’s Executive Artistic Director, Claudia de Vasco said, “The purpose of the resident company is to secure and develop professional talent by offering them working contracts and access to training resources — essentially establishing a ‘home team’ of professional actors by the San Antonio community.”
