“A Bit of Earth” in and around Los Angeles

If the Ahmanson Theatre’s current production of The Secret Garden has you yearning for more lush adventures, there are plenty of gardens to explore in and around Los Angeles. Be there a “House Upon a Hill” nearby or flowers that only bloom when “Winter’s on the Wing,” these gardens each have their own stories and magic hidden within the...

HOLIDAY CHEER

The time has come to close the curtain on 2022. During this time of celebration and cheer, why not have theatre be a part of the gift you give to those you hold so dear? From The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe at the Mark Taper Forum to Everybody’sTalking About Jamie at the Ahmanson Theatre, here are some fun, theatre-inspi...

HOLIDAY CHEER

Three Cheers

The Mullin Wine Bar on the Jerry Moss Plaza at The Music Center offers an array of libations and small bites before shows.

Order Up!

Clyde’s, now playing at the Mark Taper Forum, takes place in a truck-stop diner, where the staff pursues the perfect sandwich. If the show has you hungry for more, we have some of the best sandwiches around Los Angeles—which are all perfect in their own ways.

Rediscovering Los Angeles with '32 ACRES–a soundwalk'

After a year and a half of our theatres being dark, we’re slowly transitioning back to live performances. For Marike Splint and Center Theatre Group, that transition involves a pair of your best headphones, a specially designed mobile app, and a trip to Los Angeles State Historic Park. 32 ACRES–a soundwalk for the Los Angeles State Historic Par...

A New Play Debuts in Boyle Heights

A Tuesday afternoon in September found playwright and MacArthur Genius Luis Alfaro rewriting his newest work in an at once unlikely and completely appropriate setting: a Los Angeles public library parking lot in Boyle Heights.

Chisme y Queso

In Spring of 2017, the bar Eastside Luv was transformed into a theatre. Inside the tiny Boyle Heights venue young crowds danced to 1980s pop, drank sangria, and gossiped in English and Spanish. It was quintessentially Los Angeles. It was Chisme y Queso.

Working in Community

From 2012–2016, three of Southern California’s leading regional theatres programmed ambitious initiatives to engage local communities—primarily Latinx—they felt were underrepresented as patrons at their theatres. With funding from the James Irvine Foundation’s Exploring Engagement fund, all three companies experimented with partnerships...

Gossip, Cheese, and Theatre in Boyle Heights

Across the street from Mariachi Plaza in Boyle Heights, tucked tightly onto a corner, is a very small bar. And although it’s early on a Sunday evening, inside the very small bar is a very big party.

The Local Theatre Movement

When playwright and MacArthur “Genius” Luis Alfaro was a child, his mother would bring him to shows at the Ahmanson Theatre and Mark Taper Forum—but she would wait in the parking lot of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power while he sat in the audience, enraptured. Alfaro became an usher in 1979 and eventually became part of Center Th...

Location, Location, Location!

When we first developed our Boyle Heights programming three years ago, we laid what would become the foundations of our work at a community engagement strategies brainstorming session. One of the many lists we made was titled “Barriers of Participation,” alongside another list of solutions for said barriers. Here’s what we’ve learned about...
