• Its aim will be to investigate the relationship between performers and spectators. In its first year, the Centre will focus its attention on the reactions of the spectators after the performance.

• The answer is simple. There's nothing else like it. Nothing else combines spoken word, gesture, visual image, sound, light, movement, and music the same way. It happens right before your eyes. You have a human being in front of you, quite alive, working very hard to make you see something, understand something. Feel something. It happens in the moment. In the dark. In the company of strangers. When it works well, it is magical. You're caught up in something, a human act of community, of tale-telling, an acting out of our history and of our present, an imagining of our future, just like it has been done countless tens of thousands of times before in countless circumstances of performances done by the few, the actors, in front of the many, us.
• At City Garage we try to produce plays and playwrights that are usually not very well known or often performed here. There is a certain prejudice towards European work, not just because our Artistic Director is French -- although that's also a reason -- but because it's hard to see much contemporary European writing on L.A. stages, or even to see many wonderful plays from the last thirty years that have been hardly performed. We also do interesting contemporary American playwrights, but ones that aren't performed as much as we think they should be.
