With support from California Arts Council, Woodcraft Rangers will commission its first production of Teatro Fogata, a new program offering bilingual family theatre led by and showcasing local Latinx artists. Created by Emmy and Latin Grammy award-winning indie children’s musician, Lucky Diaz and acclaimed Latin standup comedian, Jerry Garcia, the inaugural show will feature four local artists from Huntington Park and South Gate, CA who will also teach a playmaking program for area students.
In partnership with local school districts, Woodcraft provides daily afterschool enrichment programs from the close of the school day until approximately 6:00 p.m. A community assessment process that includes surveys and conversations with students, school personnel, and parents, results in the curation of six-week program cycles during which students have access to hundreds of different clubs, enabling them to explore their interests and develop new skills. Woodcraft’s Summer Day Camp provides up to 11 hours of daily enrichment, mentorship, and field trips to cultural sites across Los Angeles. Camp Woodcraft, our residential summer camp, welcomes more than 400 campers over four weeks; most of whom receive income-based scholarships.
