Applications Now Accepted For Block Party 2019 At the Kirk Douglas Theatre

Applications are now being accepted for Center Theatre Group's third annual Block Party: Celebrating Los Angeles Theatre, which will highlight some of the remarkable work being done on other, more intimate stages throughout Los Angeles by producing three previously staged productions at the Kirk Douglas Theatre.

Intimate theatre companies from the greater Los Angeles area may submit one production for consideration. To be eligible, the production must have opened between January 1, 2017, and May 11, 2018. Three productions will be selected for presentation at the Kirk Douglas Theatre March 7 through April 28, 2019. The deadline to apply is Friday, May 11, 2018.

Interested theatre companies must complete an online application to be considered. The application, found at CTGLA.org/BlockParty, features a few changes from previous years, so applicants should review the updated guidelines before submitting. Should any questions arise throughout the application process, please email BlockParty@CTGLA.org. There will also be a Block Party information session held at the Kirk Douglas Theatre on Tuesday, May 1 from 7 to 9 p.m. The session will be led by members of the Block Party team who will review each section of the application and answer questions. To RSVP for the information session, please visit CTGLA.org/BlockParty.

The three selected productions will each have a two-week run with 12 performances at the Douglas. All three theatre companies will be part of a collaboration with Center Theatre Group and will receive the full support of Center Theatre Group and its staff in order to fund, stage and market each production.
