Dear Family & Friends, 

Another year has gone by, and once again I’m reaching out to ask for your support of Cornerstone Theater Company. I am honored to be a part of a company that makes connections within communities, provides opportunities and changes lives through theater. Your support helps make it possible. Here are a few stories I am excited to share with you…

  • Jenny Marlowe, actor and activist of Ojibwe descent, found Cornerstone as an actor in "Urban Rez". She is now a Cornerstone Community Council member. “It's not hyperbole when I say that Cornerstone changed my life. The strength of the community – the family that welcomed me in – taught me more than I ever expected to learn about my city and the people in it; and those bonds are built to last.” 
  • Last year's production of "fellowship, a play for volunteers" in Watts, led two of our partner organizations, Food Forward and the Watts Labor Community Action Committee (WLCAC) to work together to create change in South LA. This year thousands of low-income neighbors have access to FREE fresh fruits and vegetables through the new MudTown Farmers Market initiative. Produce recovered from wholesalers is distributed at the farmers market at the WLCAC. The experience of coming together to create a play planted the seeds of awareness and built trust, leading to action and change.

Your continued support and generosity has kept us going for more than 30 years, earning Cornerstone national recognition as leaders and changemakers in the theater field. As cited in American Theatre Magazine:  “This kind of community-engaged theatre doesn’t just feel like home...it feels like the future.”

Please consider joining me in making a donation today. Together, we can continue to change lives and strengthen communities through the arts. 


Happy Holidays & Warmest Regards,

Arnie Zimmerman

Board Resource Development Committee
