Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Center Theatre Group (CTG) will expand its partnership with libraries and local theatre companies to host free Library Play Readings, bringing bilingual performances to Boyle Heights residents in their own community. The readings foster an interest in theatre as an art form, support the quality work of theatre-makers from across Los Angeles, and encourage intergenerational engagement through activities and discussions at each event.
Organization Summary
Comprising the 2,000-seat Ahmanson Theatre, the 736-seat Mark Taper Forum, and the 317-seat Kirk Douglas Theatre, CTG is one of the nation’s largest regional theatres and one of the few regional theatres to successfully produce a broad variety of programming each season. CTG is committed to furthering its mission through programming that meets the challenge of producing and presenting work of the highest quality, while engaging a broad and diverse audience, and expanding community access and arts learning opportunities. These efforts include a robust Artistic Development Program offering commissions of new work, readings and workshops, and an annual L.A. Writers’ Workshop; and an Education and Community Partnerships Department dedicated to providing comprehensive year-round arts education and access to over 20,000 students, educators, and community members each year.
