Skylight Theatre Company

Skylight Theatre Company provides a voice and artistic opportunities for emerging playwrights and artists, we particularly seek stories written by underrepresented playwrights. In 2022, we completed our collaborative season partnership with another local theater Company producing 2 of 3 scheduled new works (covid cancelled one production), and continued development of new plays (workshops, readings, dramaturgical support). In addition to asl interpreted performances for la's deaf community, we provided affinity performances which offer a culturally specific viewings of the works, as well as panel and community discussions which not only offer unique perspectives and information but help to create connection and rebuild audiences.jan 2022 we hired a new full-time executive director (prior ed is managing dir. Phasing into retirement), and engaged. An external consultancy to initiate a 5-year strategic plan (approved jan 2023). Reflecting on our place in the theatrical ecosystem post-covid, we've restructured our programs to make a deeper investment in the playwright's work and creative process. Core programs include (a) stage productions: development and production of unproduced original plays including dramaturgical support and mentoring; (b) inkubator: full scale play-development workshops & actor-creator opportunities; (c) community conversations: free in-person and online events including panels for marginalized communities.
