Cornerstone Theater Company
Cornerstone Theater Company has been making new plays with and about communities throughout Los Angeles and beyond for over 30 years. Nationally recognized as a leader in community engaged theater, our plays celebrate many voices as we strive to include people who have not been on stage or even seen theater. Combining the artistry of people with many levels of theatrical experience, we act upon the conviction that artistic expression is civic engagement and that access to a creative forum is essential to the wellness and health of every individual and community. Our plays are staged in theaters, parking lots, factories, schools and subway stations. Each venue is specific to its project and community; audiences pay what they can so our performances are always accessible to all.

You have certainly some environments institutions that are very collaborative.
Joel VeenstraGUEST
I was a production manager at Cornerstone Theater Company based in Los Angeles and they're a very collaborative theater space that essentially everybody in a company can add comments and thoughts but ultimately the director needs to make some decisions in terms of how they want to go and I've also worked in the film industry for a while which is very hierarchical and you can you must literally talk to your head and then they'll talk to the other head because you can't cross talk and all these kind of frameworks and so I think there is an element of being mindful of what type of environment you are in and what kind of communication patterns are.
Joel VeenstraGUEST
There's also Broadway directors that are very collaborative and want everybody to be adding ideas, and there's some that are very not.
Joel VeenstraGUEST
And so I think there's a certain element of being aware of what type of environment you are in and then trying to adjust to that environment.
