About Miscast 

Miscast Theatre Company, LLC was founded by Alejandro Pesina Ortega, Rebekah Williams, and Ivan Ortega during the summer of 2022. Alejandro, Rebekah, and Ivan wanted to create a safe space for marginalized performers who were often overlooked in favor of maintaining the "usual" or "standard" cast lists. Having experienced this firsthand, their mission is to provide this for all San Antonio, TX local artists.

 

MISSION

"MTC's mission is to revolutionize the theatrical landscape in San Antonio, TX, and beyond. We are committed to providing a safe and empowering space for marginalized performers who have often been overlooked in favor of conventional casting practices. We are dedicated to breaking down barriers and embracing diversity in all its forms."

 

VISION

"Our vision is to challenge traditional norms and break away from the constraints of typecasting. We aspire to empower San Antonio's local artists by creating a safe space where they can explore their talents and bring unique perspectives to the stage."
