Join us for live music, entertainment and the honoring of Clifton Johnson and Rosie Lee Hooks! Our “Community Towers” are pillars in our community who, like WVTC, are making a substantial difference in South LA and around the world. Since 1996, WVTC has been a leader in providing acting and theatrical performance workshops for at-risk youth in Watts and South Los Angeles. We infuse our culturally diverse community with a tolerance for differences through the development and production of thought-provoking works such as "Meet Me @Metro," a site-specific extravaganza performed on and around the Los Angeles Metro transit system. In a community constantly struggling with poverty and adversity, WVTC inspires and provides positive alternatives to the status quo. With your support, we can continue to bring the community together!

WVTC Supports Greater Website Accessibility for the Visually and Hearing Impaired:

 

For the visually impaired, we recommended using this website with the browser Mozilla Firefox, which features a variety of add-ons with the ability to read text on the web page, like Speak It, SpokenText, Text to Voice/Speech.

For all other browsers, we recommend using screen reading software such as
BrowseAloud (which reads out text on websites), FeedSpeaker (which reads out
RSS feeds), ATTS, NaturalReader, Internet Explorer Reader, and Text-to-Speech Master.

 

This activity was sponsored by California Arts Council and National Arts and Disability Center at the University of California Los Angeles.
