Cornerstone Theater
Cornerstone Theater Company is a multi-ethnic ensemble company based in Los Angeles California. For over 30 years, Cornerstone has commissioned more than 100 award-winning playwrights, produced over 150 new plays for the American Theater, trained thousands of students, and impacted tens of thousands of community members across the U.S., with many experiencing theater for the first time. Cornerstone was founded in 1986 as a traveling ensemble, which adapted classic works to tell the stories of both rural and urban communities. The theater has also seeded a troupe called Teatro Jornalero Sin Fronteras (Day Laborer Theater Without Borders), in partnership with the National Day Laborer Organizing Network and funding from the Ford Foundation.
