S. MARK TAPER FOUNDATION PLAYHOUSE

In 2000, Deaf West Theatre (DWT) received a generous grant from the S. Mark Taper Foundation to help fund the renovation of DWT’s approximately 2,500 square foot facility. In addition to renovations and improvements made to the theatre itself, DWT was also able to renovate and occupy the 5114 Lankershim Boulevard property, creating an office space, green room, rehearsal room, dressing rooms and storage directly next door to the resident theatre. In gratitude, the renovated theatre space has been named the S. Mark Taper Foundation Playhouse. Thank you to Executive Director, Ray Reisler, and everyone at the S. Mark Taper Foundation for helping DWT improve its artistic environment and create a new home.
