Cornerstone's first Los Angeles Community Bridge Show brought together participants of the previous three residencies. This adaptation of a 1937 Chinese play toured 5 sites citywide with a cast and crew of 45 and involved dialogue and song lyrics in English, Spanish and Arabic.
L.A. Building told the story of diverse residents of a Los Angeles apartment building who, living together, end building a shared sense of community and hope.
