Culver City audiences will have the opportunity to experience six brand new plays—thanks to Center Theatre Group’s L.A. Writers’ Workshop Festival which will take place January 26–28 at the Kirk Douglas Theatre. Since its inception in 2005, Center Theatre Group has supported a cohort of playwrights to help them author new plays with the L.A. Writers’ Workshop on topics as varied as Los Angeles itself.
“CTG has a long history of nurturing and supporting Los Angeles-based playwrights and plays,” said Center Theatre Group Artistic Director Snehal Desai. “This year, I am particularly excited to include the L.A. Writers’ Workshop as part of our CTG:FWD programming. Great storytelling is only as powerful as the community surrounding it. And CTG:FWD is all about supporting and celebrating community. I hope you’ll join us in January as we welcome six extraordinary playwrights into our space, and help give breath to these incredible new works. There’s nothing quite like being the first to see the next hit play as it begins to take its first steps. We can’t wait to see you there.”
The six plays and their playwrights are Alien Girls by Amy Berryman; Pigeonhole by Jasmine Sharma; Help, But Better by Inda Craig-Galván; Brother Gary by Ramiz Monsef; malcreados by christopher oscar peña; and Teresa by Issac Gómez.
