Join us for an electric evening that unlocks the magic of this city that we all call home. ONE LA will feature the work of LA artists with performances that will remind us of how vibrant and resilient we are when we come together as one.
This event is now SOLD OUT.
We will uplift LA artists, celebrate our city, and share how CTG has been a part of relief efforts during the challenging times that have followed the LA Wildfire Crisis.
The dinner will feature a paddle raise in support of our Education & Community Partnerships programs. Funds raised will ensure that we can continue to have an impact in the community and bring arts to Angelenos wherever they are.
The evening continues on in a special one-night only show at the Mark Taper Forum, featuring LA artists, celebrities, some favorites from our ONE CTG season, and a surprise or two. This amazing evening will conclude in an after party on the Plaza!
