Teatro Dallas Presents
The Merit System
A comedic exploration of class and the cost of assimilation within the Nuyorican community, this delicious period piece is set in the late 70s and centers around a young man working his way up the social ladder and an unlikely friendship that grounds him and brings him back to his roots.

Teatro Dallas…delights audiences of all ages, but particularly the young and young at heart with its ingenious story-telling.
—Teresa Marrero, Theater Jones 2019
…theaters are producing these plays because they’re interesting, complicated and well-told, rather than taking a polemical political position they leave space for the viewer to draw his or her own conclusions.
—Manny Mendoza, Dallas Morning News 2019
Teatro Dallas’ production is at turns funny and gruesome- but one thing you’ll never say is it was dull.
—Jill Sweeny, Theater Jones 2019
