What does the the 24th Street Theatre consider as…
…top safety issues in South L.A.? Youth need more things to do during non-school hours. I feel very safe in this neighborhood, but USC students need to realize when they aren’t on campus that they are in the inner city. They constantly ride their bikes while texting or just randomly bike into traffic without paying attention. I also think getting the students out to volunteer in the neighborhood would help with community relations. We have some excellent USC work study students here that work closely with neighborhood youth and are great role models to them.
…top education issues in South L.A.? There are some great youth here in our community that need help with finding options post high school, including how and when to apply for college, and career options.
What are the 24th Street Theatre affiliated programs? The Saturday Explorer Series, Leadership Academy,
Hours: Noon to 6, Monday through Friday, with performances occasionally on Saturdays and Sundays.
