Community Programs


  • Create (Community Representatives Engaged in Active Theater Education)

    CREATE is a season-long, interactive exploration and analysis of live theater for those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience world-class theater. Conducted in close partnership with community and social service groups, CREATE provides non traditional theater goers with customized workshops, free performance tickets, and post-show discussion groups.

    For further information please call the Geffen Education Department at (310) 208-6500 x 156 or email education@geffenplayhouse.com.
