We know that for our Los Angeles theatre community, cancelling and postponing shows, gigs, and events can have a major impact on the finances and wellbeing of individuals artists and companies. We’ve compiled some resources to help support our theatre community in response to recent COVID-19 developments.
Please note that this is an ever-growing list. If you have resources to share, please send them to Courtney Clark, cclark@lastagealliance.com. Thank you!
