Have your Next Zoom Meeting at the Theatre

Have you been dreaming of meeting friends at the theatre while you sip a glass of wine at your latest socially distanced virtual happy hour? Would your colleagues take you more seriously if you were sitting onstage at the Ahmanson as opposed to next to a pile of laundry (true, it’s clean, but they don’t know that) for your next important work m...

Remembering Diane Rodriguez

Art Goes On. And So Do We.

Dear Center Theatre Group Patrons, We are truly in unprecedented times. The COVID-19 crisis is something we have never seen in our lifetime, in the world at large and in its implications for our theatre community.

Art Goes On. And So Do We.

Building a More Inclusive Company with TransCanWork

How many adults in the United States today identify as trans? What’s the difference between gender identity and gender expression? What does cisgender mean? What’s the best way to find out a colleague, friend, or patron’s gender pronoun?

Before her internship, Jocelyn Lopez had never traveled on her own; inspired by a Center Theatre Grou...

Donors Go Inside the L.A. Writers' Workshop

As a writer you write in isolation, but theatre is all about community, playwright Deborah Stein told a group of donors on November 30, 2017 at a special Artists and Educators Forum event at the home of Jody and David Lippman. She went on to explain the value of Center Theatre Group’s L.A. Writers’ Workshop, which creates a community for a grou...

Triple Play Puts Playwrights, Patrons, and Theatres in Conversation

When was the last time you talked to a playwright? How about someone at Center Theatre Group who wasn’t helping you out with a ticket? Playwrights, patrons, and theatre company come together in some configuration every night that we operate, yet we rarely have a chance to engage in meaningful dialogues with one another.

Martin, who passed away on May 21, 2017, began Center Theatre Group’...
