Cornerstone Theater Wants to Know: What Feeds You?
On July 27th, The California Endowment, in conjunction with Cornerstone Theater Company (CTC), invites you to answer the question: “what feeds you?” In a time of crippling scarcity and overwhelming abundance, individuals and communities are responding to this question in different and compelling ways. By examining community health through this lens, CTC will unearth the complexity inherent in food system issues through The Hunger Cycle, a new series of world premiere plays that will be produced over the next four years to investigate the universal and urgent need for food.
Bring your personal experiences and stories to actively participate in the evening’s discussion facilitated by Cornerstone Theater, which will feature Michael John Garcés (CTC’s Artistic Director), members of CTC’s ensemble, and other community participants. Your stories and shared experiences will be collected and ultimately transformed into community-based theater pieces that will form The Hunger Cycle.
The Center for Food and Justice (CFJ), a division of the Urban & Environmental Policy Institute at Occidental College, will be on hand to provide a framework to discuss the current state of food and hunger in Los Angeles and the resources available to us locally.

Over the next four years, Cornerstone will examine our country’s current hunger crisis through the eyes of people who are directly affected by the complex issues of food and hunger – food equity, access, nutrition, health, and the environment.
