Portrait of Carmen Celia Beltran, Tucson, Arizona, c. 1925

Carmen Celia Beltrán (February 19, 1905 – May 26, 2002) was a Mexican American writer born in Durango, Mexico to a family of musicians. She wrote poetry, plays, essays, and radio and religious dramas. Her mother, Guadalupe, played the mandolin. All of her siblings played instruments and her father, a major in the military band of Mexican President Porfirio Díaz, inspired his children to take up music as well. During the Mexican Revolution, they decided to leave the city and fled to the mountains due to her father’s political connections. Beltrán was hidden with Carmelite nuns and then traveled with her family to the United States.

Beltrán moved to Tucson between 1938 and 1942 due to respiratory problems where she became active in the Mexican American community. She wrote articles for the Spanish newspaper El Tucsonense, worked on a weekly radio program called “Theatre of the Air,” and performed songs at the Holy Family Church. She would later write for Tucson Daily Reporter and La Voz. She then wrote México Ayer y Hoy, a drama performance that depicted the history of Aztec, colonial, and independent Mexico. The drama was first performed at Tucson High School in 1952 and would later be performed at other venues. She was awarded the Humanitarian Award from the Mexican American Unity Council for the play and her community activities and the City of Tucson’s Amistad Award for her work with KUAT. She was awarded a César Award and in 1992 the Arizona Historical Society founded the Carmen Celiá Beltrán Hispanic Theatre Archives.

Beltrán passed May 26, 2002 from breast cancer.
