City Garage Theatre

Bonjour,

It’s Giving Tuesday!

This week is Giving Tuesday, when nonprofits across the country look to their most loyal supporters to help them keep doing what they do for their communities. For more than 35 years, City Garage has been producing innovative, exciting, and compelling theater that speaks to the issues we all care about. Now more than ever, as enter a particularly challenging time, we’re counting on you to be there for us. We have two new grants that were trying to match: one from LA County and another from the State of California, for a total of $25,900! Thanks to the generous patrons below, we’ve already raised $8,238! Won’t you help us get the rest of the way with your donation, large or small?

“WOW!”

“...an uncanniness that feels friendly and welcoming, suggesting a place where we can all be mad together...”

“... sometimes scorching, sometimes hilarious, always intriguing exploration of human relations…what really grabs our attention and hearts are the performances.”

“Contemporary theater at its most informative and impactful … stunning, gut-punching”

“it hits like thunderclap…”

“Stellar performances from the cast under Frédérique Michel’s direction”

“Approaches the “hallelujah” level!”

“...startlingly compelling as well as rather surprisingly funny...”

“eerie, atmospheric ... well suited to the stylish City Garage aesthetic”

“... a Greek myth scaled down to human proportions ... It’s simple, it’s quiet, it’s deeply personal”

“THE BOURGEOIS GENTLEMAN had the audience laughing from start to finish.”

“Superb acting….Frederique Michel’s clockwork-like direction of Schimmelpfennig’s tricky, provocative play and Charles Duncombe’s atmospheric stage design also deserve the highest praise possible.”

“City Garage, known for daring, highly stylized sociopolitical theater, is the ideal local company to revive this infrequently done, disturbingly timely play.”

“Crowd-pleasing and consistently funny!”

“The piece is fascinating to watch... handsome and visually stunning production, stylized and ritualized.”

“The writing and the performances crackle...”

“A marvelous evening of theater... a distinctive, individual form of dance-theater, using a movement vocabulary that... communicates immediately with gestures sometimes like seductive cabaret performance... ”
