Project Description
SINERGIA is seeking funds to provide artist honorariums (playwrights, actors, and directors) for 3 month-long iterations of our 2027 10-Minute Theater Festival.
The annual 10-Minute Festival was established in 2012 with the goal of providing work opportunities for emerging Latinx theater artists. Our venue provides them with the space to stage original works and receive valuable feedback from the artistic director, their peers and the community at large. These 3 iterations will result in 30 new 10-Minute plays, and provide employment for 135 artists.
All other production expenses will be provided by other funders.
Organization Summary
Grupo de Teatro SINERGIA (Synergy Theater Group) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit arts organization operating out of the William Reagh Los Angeles Photography Center, located at 2332 W 4th St., in the heart of the Westlake District, one of the most densely populated and economically challenged areas of Los Angeles on the outskirts of Downtown. We organize arts programs representing the major ethnic groups residing within a five-mile radius of the Center, primarily Latino immigrant groups from Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Mexico. Throughout the years, SINERGIA has worked diligently to establish a working relationship with the surrounding community in order to integrate them as welcomed members of the company. Our focus continues to be on works and arts education programming relevant to our underserved community. We presently serve a highly transient, zero to low-income population, comprised mostly of first-generation immigrants.
