Works in Progress |
|
Works in Progress was a theater series begun in 1994 as a presenting program of various contemporary solo and small ensemble performances. With the renovation of the Nakano Theatre completed in 2004, the program focused on new and very recent theater productions that had compelling, contemporary themes.
Works in Progress, formerly a program of the Torrance Cultural Services Division, was produced in 2013 as a partnership between Torrance Historical Society & Museum and John Powers. |
