Career Misery Has Company

In a time when anything from personal musings on social media to surreptitiously documented misconduct can be disseminated instantly across the world, we’re no longer surprised to find formerly beloved celebrities in the cross-hairs of hyper-public scandals.

Career Misery Has Company

The Doctor, the Nurse, the Troll, the Wife, and the Journalist

Though they’re telling a story of TV doctors, online harassment, and disconnect in today’s culture, the actors of Quack—Eliza Clark’s World premiere comedy onstage at the Kirk Douglas Theatre October 21 – November 18, 2018—are quite the tight-knit cast....

A Fad a Day to Your Doctor’s Dismay

From superfoods to hot yoga, probiotics to cupping, society’s obsession with health has spawned many interesting (see: questionable) trends and cure-alls. While fad diets and products are not a new invention by any means (see: healthy cigarettes and the nicotine diet), the internet has amplified marketers’ messaging and ease of sale....

A Letter from Michael Ritchie: October 2018

Dear Community Member, If you’ve never been to Center Theatre Group before, I want to welcome you to what I hope will be a wonderful experience. For those of you who are returning…it’s nice to have you back here with us!

A Letter from Michael Ritchie: October 2018

From Start to Finish, A Home for New Work

A major pillar of Center Theatre Group’s mission is to foster new plays and support local playwrights at every step of the process from conception to production. The ideal example is Quack, a World premiere onstage at the Kirk Douglas Theatre October 21 – November 18, 2018. Playwright Eliza Clark wrote the piece during her residency in the 2016...

Playwright Jocelyn Bioh Blends Comedy and Culture in ‘School Girls’

Center Theatre Group has remained the first and only West Coast theatre to embrace my voice as a writer. I write African comedies, explained Ghanian American playwright Jocelyn Bioh. There are so many beautiful layers to my continent, and I feel rewarded in knowing that I’m adding to the conversation of how the African diaspora is reflected [ons...

Playwright Jocelyn Bioh Blends Comedy and Culture in ‘School Girls’

Three Playwrights. Three Stages. Three Journeys.

All three stages at Center Theatre Group have hosted artists whose stories reflect our diverse community since our doors opened in 1967, but this fall marks an important moment. At the Ahmanson, Taper, and Douglas, three powerful female playwrights—all theatre artists of color—have works onstage simultaneously: Dominique Morisseau, book writer...

Five Girl Squads that Are Friendship Goals

Good friends are hard to find—and oftentimes harder to keep. And even the most challenging female friendships can be legendary with the right gals by your side. In honor of School Girls; Or, the African Mean Girls Play—onstage at the Kirk Douglas Theatre September 2–30, 2018—we’re paying tribute to some of the most iconic girl squads in p...

Five Girl Squads that Are Friendship Goals

A Festival by Locals, For Locals

Los Angeles has more theatre companies per capita than any city, and is a place writers flock to looking for opportunities across every form of media. But it can still be hard for playwrights to find one another and find support for their theatrical endeavors.

A Festival by Locals, For Locals

The Class of ‘School Girls’ Dishes

When the cast members of School Girls; Or, the African Mean Girls Play—onstage at the Kirk Douglas Theatre September 2–30, 2018—are in the same room, it feels a lot like being in a real class.

The Class of ‘School Girls’ Dishes

From Product Design to Props

A peace pipe. A vial of arsenic. A mango-wheat beer. A necklace that can ward off evil spirits. An intricately carved jewelry box.
