As a renewal of theatrical possibility and as an expander of audience sensibility, Radar L.A. is an invaluable addition to the city's cultural ecology.” The upcoming festival and symposium build upon momentum from the 2011 Radar L.A., which featured 90 performances of 15 productions, engaging over 200 artists.

The full program for Radar L.A. 2013 will be announced in July 2013.
