$20 FOR 20 CAMPAIGN

About…Productions is asking our community of supporters to join us in marking this occasion by simply making a donation of $20 to celebrate our 20 years of service to the Greater Los Angeles area. In 20 years we have reached millions with local and regional productions, exposure on national television, nationwide touring, and ten straight years of National Endowment for the Arts support. From original productions like By the Hand of the Father to Young Theaterworks to our senior program STAGES, we have worked with hundreds of renowned artists, deeply creative students, and vibrant seniors in the development of these one-of-a kind programs.
