ABOUT WACO THEATER CENTER
Founded in 2017 by Richard and Tina Knowles Lawson, WACO (Where Art Can Occur) Theater Center is located in the burgeoning North Hollywood Arts District of Los Angeles and is one of the few cultural institutions in the country providing contemporary performing and visual arts of the African Diaspora.
MISSION STATEMENT
WACO Theater Center is a performing and visual arts organization that presents, commissions, and develops artistic works dedicated to stories of the African diaspora. WACO provides artists and young people a platform and voice to showcase their creativity in order to connect and inspire others. We believe that theater and art is a powerful, important part of Los Angeles’ culture and community and that it should be accessible to all.
