In 1967 a group of young Mexican dramatists--most of them studying with Emilio Carballido--began staging plays, primarily in small, out-of-the-way theaters, and publishing them, mostly in university magazines with limited distribution.

The Casa del Deán in Puebla, Mexico, is one of few surviving sixteenth-century residences in the Americas.
