TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE



"The failure to invest in youth reflects a lack of compassion and a colossal failure of common sense."

- Coretta Scott King

Southern California is one of the most diverse places in the world, with Los Angeles alone ranking as the 7th most diverse city in America, and Long Beach as the 9th. Once or twice a season, International City Theatre partners up with a group in our community for a particular show in order to achieve their goals. The goals of community partnership are:

1. To bring young people to the theatre

2. To raise money for college scholarships

3. To unite our diverse community

We can accomplish more when we work together. Consider supporting ICT's Community Partnerships by attending the Gala or making a tax deductible donation for the youth in our community.
