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.

The Cornerstone Institute:
Summer residencies and weekend 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.
