The Mark Taper Forum, a part of the Center Theatre Group, is making adjustments to its programming due to various factors, including the lingering effects of the pandemic. These factors have led to challenges in managing rising production costs alongside declining ticket sales and donations.
One consequence of this situation is the postponement of the world premiere of “Fake It Until You Make It” by Larissa FastHorse and directed by Michael John Garces. Additionally, the tour of “Cambodian Rock Band” by Lauren Yee and directed by Chay Yew has been canceled. These changes will take effect in July.
The Center Theatre Group acknowledges that pausing its season programming is a tough but necessary decision. This will undoubtedly impact both artists and audiences, and it is particularly disheartening for the dedicated CTG staff who have worked tirelessly to bring outstanding theatre to Los Angeles.
On a positive note, the Center Theatre Group plans to unveil its 2023-24 season at the Ahmanson Theatre, as well as announce select programming at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in the near future.
Reflecting on the current crisis, the Center Theatre Group states that it is unlike anything they have faced in their 56-year history. This challenging environment has compelled them to pause a significant portion of their programming from this summer until the 2023-24 season. They are also implementing significant restructuring measures to establish a vibrant and sustainable organization that can thrive in this new paradigm.
In the midst of these changes, the Center Theatre Group is actively working on collaborations with The Music Center, the County of Los Angeles, and the broader L.A. arts community to develop future projects.
