I am the Manager of Community Partnerships here at Cornerstone Theater Company and we are gearing up for a new cycle of community based theatrical productions centered around the concept of “Hunger.” We have identified five sites of interrogation for our next set of productions such as the Restaurant, the School, Agriculture (Rural/Urban), Scarcity & Abundance and a Bridge show.

We’re touching upon a range of issues related to hunger, including but not limited to food deserts, community gardens, corporatization of crops, the slow food movement, etc.

I’d love to be in touch with you and see if there’s a chance we can partner on some of the productions. We’re looking for folks to share their stories and participate as actors.

Please get in touch with me at your earliest convenience.
Thanks!
Raquel

Hello!

I volunteered with Hunger Action Los Angeles at their Good Food Fair on Saturday 06/25 and RootDownLA was there passing out fruits, veggies, and brown fried rice to the community. The food was AMAZING, and Megan Hanson and her staff were super friendly and informative! RootDownLA is really doing something great by teaching families, in particular children that fresh fruits and vegetables can be both nutritious and tasty.

Hello. I’m a producer and journalist with KCET-TV who is producing a series of shows on health and nutrition in L.A. Could someone give me a call when convenient. I’d like to discuss the work of Root Down L.A.

Hi,

Our group, LA Green Grounds, is helping people set up their own gardens at home, so they can grow and eat their own healthy, clean, truly tasty home in their own yards.

We help people in south L.A. by providing our knowledge and labor to create a sustainable vegetable garden, for free. We only ask that the resident invite neighbors, friends, family so that we can teach and demonstrate and finally, actually create a garden in one afternoon.

People can apply for LA Green Grounds help by emailing us or responding to our blogsite: lagreengrounds.org
