It’s sobering that Luis Valdez’s stirring Chicano protest musical is freshly relevant, but there’s nothing somber about its vibrant new staging.
CTG will celebrate the Los Angeles theatre community by remounting three productions from local theatres.
Luis Valdez’s company retains both its Chicano identity and its broader mission. Next: the return of the troupe’s most famous creation, ‘Zoot Suit.’
Daughter becomes mother in the Irish company’s 20th-anniversary staging of Martin McDonagh’s landmark play, which now tours the U.S.
An enthusiast marked by youthful vigor and guilelessness, the Taper founder made great theatre in L.A. because he cared. He made us care too.
Lured to L.A. at the beginning of the regional theatre movement, he stayed and changed both.
Eight early-career theatre leaders will recieve grants to work with mentors at TCG member theatres.
New plays by Tarell Alvin McCraney, Quiara Alegria Hudes, David Henry Hwang, and Rajiv Joseph, as well as a revival of ‘Zoot Suit.’
Also included are new works by Stein | Holum Projects, Tim Crouch, Jon Robin Baitz, Ngozi Anyanwu, and three local companies.
