Center Theatre Group Of LOS Angeles

Center Theatre Group of Los Angeles is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization located at 601 West Temple Street in Los Angeles, California, registered with SAM.gov since February 2006. The organization provides artistic and cultural services to the federal government through project grants, primarily supporting theatrical productions, artistic development programs, and creative initiatives. As a cultural institution, Center Theatre Group has established itself as a recipient of federal grant funding focused on supporting performing arts and literary development in the Los Angeles community.

The organization's federal grant portfolio demonstrates a consistent focus on theatrical production and artistic development initiatives funded through the National Endowment for the Arts. Center Theatre Group has received four prime project grants from NEA between 2021 and 2025, including support for the L.A. Writers Workshop and L.A. Writers Workshop Festival (awarded June 2021 and June 2022), the world premiere production of "Fake It Until You Make It" by Larissa Fasthorse (awarded June 2023), and a production of "The World Is Not Silent" by Don X. Nguyen (awarded June 2025, with completion anticipated in May 2027). Beyond its direct NEA grants, Center Theatre Group also served as a sub-grantee under the Office of Emergency Services, receiving COVID-19 relief funding in two allocations—one for FY20-FY22 activities (awarded October 2023) and another for FY23 activities (awarded January 2024). These awards collectively illustrate the organization's role in supporting contemporary theatrical work, emerging playwrights, and literary arts programming while also demonstrating institutional resilience during the pandemic period.
