A Bridge to Boyle Heights

The walk across the First Street bridge from Boyle Heights into Downtown Los Angeles takes mere minutes, but for families juggling the many working parts of their busy lives, crossing that river may feel like crossing an ocean.

Puppets and Polyester and Masks - Oh My!

Center Theatre Group’s Costume Shop team has dressed a caged tiger and a future American president, a royal court and time-traveling ghosts. But they’ve never done anything quite like the costumes designed by Ingrid Ferrin for Popol Vuh: Heart of Heaven. Popol Vuh was a months-long collaboration of CTG, El Teatro Campesino, and Boyle Heights co...

In the Community: Leimert Park is Excited About Cultural Exchange

After I started my work as the Leimert Park community liaison for Center Theatre Group’s Through the Looking Glass, I quickly learned that people were excited to be involved in a project that could help dispel myths about their South Los Angeles neighborhood—and the people who dwell there. They were also clearly excited to learn about the...

In the Community: Connecting Boyle Heights Residents to ‘Popol Vuh: Heart of Heaven’

When I first got hired to be a community liaison for Center Theatre Group’s Popol Vuh: Heart of Heaven project in collaboration with El Teatro Campesino, I Googled “liaison.” I had heard the word before, but I wanted to know what it meant and what my job would entail. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a “liaison” is “a p...

In the Community: Going Home to Make Theatre

Boyle Heights has a special place in my heart. My mother was born and raised there, and I lived there for three years until I made a huge exodus to New York City that lasted 13 years.

#EveryCostume Tells a Story

The suit that landed you the job. The glass slippers that took Cinderella to the ball. The school uniform Matilda wore. The dress you bought for your first date. Every costume tells a story. Whether it’s been made for a theatrical production or put together from the mall, the clothing we wear makes an impression on our audience—whether the...

The library I grew up visiting doesn't exist anymore: The Shop Chronicles

The library I grew up visiting doesn’t exist anymore. My refuge was Benjamin Franklin Library in Boyle Heights and that’s where I got lost in The Chronicles of Narnia, I indulged my teenage angst with The Chocolate War and was profoundly moved by the epic East of Eden. The library was a place to catch up on homework, do some research or be...
