Singin’ Through History!

“Oh, say do you see what I see?” 1776 continues to captivate audiences at the Ahmanson Theatre, highlighting the history of our country and the foundations and principles our democracy is set on, while reminding us of the voices left out of the conversations at our dawn. Musicals are a great storytelling tool and offer a unique perspective into...

In Classroom Connections, Center Theatre Group invites groups of educators to enjoy a night out at the theatre—followed by a discussion of the show and where they found inspiration over food and drinks.

A Gentleman's Guide—to Love of Theatre

Introducing theatre to a young audience member can be a magical experience, but it can also be a daunting one. For example: How can you be sure to pick a show with appropriate subject matter? How do you explain different theatrical terms and concepts to someone who has never seen a play before? What is the best way to talk to a young person ab...
