Rita Moreno will hit San Antonio stages on Tuesday

Renowned actress, dancer, singer and author Rita Moreno will grace two San Antonio stages on Tuesday for special events hosted by the Las Casas Foundation.

Why it matters: Moreno's illustrious career includes two Emmys, a Grammy an Oscar and a Tony. She is the only Latina to achieve EGOT status.

What's happening: A free Q&A-style master class will kick off Moreno's visit at 10am at the Empire Theatre. The event is open to any students and teachers, but reservations are required via [email protected].

• "An Evening with Rita Moreno" at the neighboring Majestic Theatre will take place at 7:30pm.
• Tickets start at $29, but luxury packages, which include pre-show dinners, are also available.
• It's billed as an "unforgettable journey" through Moreno's nearly 80-year career as an entertainer.

Of note: San Antonio's own Ricardo Chavira, known for his roles in "Desperate Housewives" and "Selena: The Series," will moderate both events.

Between the lines: The events raise funds for the Las Casas Foundation, which supports young theater artists in San Antonio and South Texas through scholarships.
