Dear CTG Community, our hearts are with those impacted by the devastating fires in the Los Angeles area. We are allowing our staff to care of themselves and their families, so our Box Office and administrative offices will be closed today. Emails to tickets@ctgla.org will be monitored periodically should you need to contact us. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please stay safe and take care.
