DouglasPlus, now in its second year and heralded by Los Angeles Times theatre critic Charles McNulty as“a refreshing extension of CTG’s artistic palette,”
features readings, workshops and short-run events for an affordable price at the Kirk Douglas Theatre.
Meet the team behind DouglasPlus! Associate Producers Kelley Kirkpatrick & Diane Rodriguez join the CTG literary team Pier Carlo Talenti & Mike Sablone and artist Lars Jan to give you a tour of the artistic concept behind DouglasPlus as well as what excites them about the upcoming series.
Here’s a sneak peak at what you may experience at The Lunacy Commission on Saturday, November 7th from 9pm to 1am, part of DouglasPlus!
Stay tuned for more behind the scenes videos as we delve into this thrilling new program!
Readings are often the first time playwrights hear their writing in front of an audience. Staged workshops give playwrights, directors and actors more rehearsal time together, and utilize minimal costumes, props and scenery. Special events and productions are more fully produced and may take place in the lobby or other areas of the Douglas.
Single tickets on sale now. Seating is extremely limited, so act fast to ensure your attendance at these amazing events!

The post office: endless lines, cranky clerks, cantankerous customers. But when a child mysteriously wanders off, customers and clerks alike must band together to ensure the kid is returned to sender. With music from the writer/composer of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson and This Beautiful City, Post Office celebrates the power of community and collaboration in a world of largely digital relationships.
National Alliance for Musical Theatre has awarded a grant from its National Fund for New Musicals, with additional support from Broadway Across America for this presentation of Post Office. |
