Canyon: 2020 Block Party

CTG presents the IAMA production of CANYON for the KDT Digital Stage 
Sept 24 - Oct 22, 2021

Center Theatre Group will stream a remount of IAMA’s 2019 world premiere of Canyon by Jonathan Caren*, originally produced by IAMA in association with Latino Theater Company at the Los Angeles Theatre Center. Selected by CTG for its 2020 Block Party at the Kirk Douglas Theatre, the play was instead filmed on the KDT stage for online streaming due to the pandemic. 

Exploring gender, citizenship and the cost of the American Dream, Canyon is the story of a seemingly progressive 30-something married couple and the Mexican father and son they’ve hired to renovate a deck. When an unpredictable accident occurs, the lives of both families are changed forever. The original production was directed by Whitney White; Colleen Labella directs for CTG's digital stage.

Starring Adam Shapiro*, Luca Oriel, Geoffrey Rivas*, Alexandra Wright, Stefanie Black* and Brandon Scott*.
