Welcome to Our 2024–2025 Season

Welcome to the 30th Season of the Torrance Cultural Arts Foundation (TOCA)! Since its inception, TOCA has ensured that the South Bay has access to high quality culturally enriching experiences. We do this because we believe that the cultural arts are uniquely able to bring us together while also celebrating our differences. My colleagues on the Board of Directors and I are honored to continue the meaningful work that was started by visionary city leaders decades ago when they built the Torrance Cultural Arts Center.

We work in close collaboration with the City of Torrance, private donors, corporate partners, community partners, and our patrons to ensure that our shows are inspiring and accessible to all audiences. Our staff and Board of Directors believe that there is a certain experience that can only be fully enjoyed in a theater, surrounded by others, watching a live performance. Browse our season brochure and you’ll find shows that will make you laugh, cry, think, be inspired, dance in the aisles, and everything in between!

We encourage you to join our mailing list and take advantage of our season subscriber discount. TOCA relies on the financial support from people like you who see the value in our mission, and there are many ways to support us. Consider becoming a volunteer or committing to a one-time or regular monthly donation. The latter is as simple as texting TOCA30 to 44321. TOCA is grateful for the generosity of those who make what we do possible.

We can’t wait to share another season of new and familiar experiences with you!

At a time of celebration like this, we can’t help but look back on all that TOCA has accomplished and impacted. Starting with all the amazing artists, mentorship of young performers, partnerships with local arts organizations, to our friends and audience members who have been with us on this journey.

There are so many people who have helped us get to where we are today. From our staff (Susan & Sharon), graphic designer (Tes Schaff) and video artist (Brian Singer) who’ve worked tirelessly on so many projects including our streaming shows during the pandemic. Our Board of Directors and Advisory Board continue to be an inspiration and beacons of support. Thank you all.

At TOCA, we are committed to providing our patrons a space with unforgettable and accessible cultural experiences. We are proud to offer a diverse range of experiences including music, theatre, dance, comedy and family programming. As always, if there is anything we can do to make your time with us more enjoyable, please let us know by emailing is at info@torrancearts.org.

See you at the theatre!
