CREATE ·2025 Grants ChallengeSupporting Our Community of Theatre Artists
Every month, Public Assembly provides pay-what-you-can community theatre in nontraditional performances spaces throughout Los Angeles. The LA 2050 grant will support the expansion of our open-submission model and no-cost playwriting development process by providing stipends for actors, directors, and show curators. Rather than asking artists to sacrifice resources in the name of passion, these stipends will remove additional barriers to entry and will encourage new participation among community members, particularly those with lower incomes.
