Center Theatre Group announced its Spring 2024 CTG:FWD programming, featuring special events, community gatherings and artist residency programs at the Mark Taper Forum, the Kirk Douglas Theatre and throughout the greater Los Angeles area. The events are a continuation of a new initiative created by artistic director Snehal Desai in the fall of 2023. Upcoming Spring 2024 CTG:FWD programming at the Mark Taper Forum is made possible through the generous support of the S. Mark Taper Foundation. Additional funding is provided by gifts to the Artistic Director Discretionary Fund.
CTG:FWD provides greater opportunities for community gatherings and conversations, can’t-miss special events and the centering of Los Angeles-based artists and the arts community. It also provides a unique opportunity to continue to keep open the doors of the Mark Taper Forum – which announced a pause in subscription programming for the 2023-24 Season – and welcome members of the community back into that space for some of the special events and programs. Plans for Desai’s first full season are still underway and we hope to share more information later in the spring.
The CTG:FWD L.A. Artist Residencies comprised of the following theater companies: Critical Mass Performance Group, Ensemble Studio Theatre L A in partnership with Chalk Rep, and Native Voices at the Autry; in addition to individual artists including: Diana Burbano, Larissa FastHorse, Michael Feinstein, Michael John Garcés, Daniel Alexander Jones, Madeline Sayet and Kristina Wong. These residencies will continue into 2024 with more details and information to come.
“This past year when we announced CTG:FWD, I was excited to find new ways to use our venues – including hosting special events, one-off performances and forums for community centered on the arts,” Desai said. “After a very busy fall featuring Alex Edelman’s smash hit ‘Just For Us,’ Michael Feinstein’s long-awaited return to the Taper in ‘Coming Home: The Holiday Celebration,’ and community events anchored by Little Amal, the Los Angeles Theatre Summit, and our recently announced L.A. Artist Residencies, I am more excited than ever to announce our Spring 2024 CTG:FWD lineup.”
CTG:FWD is created with everyone in mind, whether one is a long-time loyal subscriber or setting foot in one of Center Theatre Group’s venues for the very first time. For spring 2024, Center Theatre Group continues this exciting new programming at the Mark Taper Forum with the return of “Feinstein’s at the Taper” and “Alex Edelman’s Just for Us,” as well the debut of a new partnership with MUSE/IQUE and the first Taper Legacy Readings. CTG: FWD programming at the Kirk Douglas Theatre includes the L.A. Writers’ Workshop Festival and the TheaterWorks USA production of “El Otro Oz.”Additionally, CTG’s Education & Community Partnerships department celebrates its 10- year anniversary of Community Partnerships programming with a series of play readings at East Los Angeles College.
