Community Collaborations
During a several month residency, professional artists work alongside dozens of community artists of all ages on a new play or adapted classic which celebrates the community, performed in a community venue and largely on Pay-What-You-Can admission basis.
Bridge Shows
After a series of residency projects, community participants from each show come together across community lines to create a culminating production in venues accessible to all participants. All artists on Bridge Shows are compensated on a professional basis, with opportunities for Pay-What-You-Can admission.
Cornerstone Institute
Summer residencies and 2-day workshops offer multidisciplinary professional training in community-based theater using our collaborative methodology. Click here to learn more about the Cornerstone Institute.
Ensemble Productions
Ensemble and guest artists create productions which become part of the company's permanent repertory. These productions run four to six weeks, are sometimes site-specific, often created to tour, and always include at least one Pay-What-You-Can performance per week.
Youth Programming
Our Youth Programming consists of two core programs: Youth Community Collaborations, which use Cornerstone's unique methodology to involve students as actors and writers, telling the stories of their own communities on stage; and Literature to Life®, Los Angeles, in partnership with American Place Theatre, a two-hour participatory performance workshop for middle and high school students, designed to promote literacy through theater.
