TEATRO QPOC 2013 will offer one Tatiana de la Tierra Fellowship that will cover the cost of the entire residency fee.  It is a small way for us to honor one of the original qpoc artists who made the space of "Teatro Q" possible back in 2007.  We thank her mother, Fabiola Restrepo, for allowing us to place this fellowship in her daughter's name. Tatiana de la Tierra-presente!
