2026 LA Writers’ Workshop Reading Series

The LA Writers’ Workshop Play Reading Series presents  brand-new play readings from local playwrights—Bernardo Cubría, Keiko Green, Christina Pumariega and Erika Sheffer —at REDCAT. This culminates a year-long commission and workshop process with Center Theatre Group (CTG). 

Since 2005, CTG has invited a cohort of local playwrights to spend a year researching and writing new works with feedback from the artistic staff and their fellow writers. The program is designed to foster important voices, inspire playwrights to create their best work, encourage bold writing, and build relationships among local playwrights, CTG, and the Los Angeles theatre community. CTG’s growing list of LA Writers’ Workshop alumni is currently comprised of more than 100 playwrights.

Through this and other programs, CTG fosters and develops a broad range of new theatrical work from artists within the diverse communities of Los Angeles, across the nation, and abroad. The company has a long history of providing artists with both financial and artistic support via resources, readings, and workshops throughout the year
