In spring 2021, the Rancho Cucamonga Community & Arts Foundation launched their first Community Arts Grant Program. Below is information about one of our current grantee organizations. Learn more about other 2023 Community Arts Grant grantees here.

Inland Valley Repertory Theatre (IVRT) presented “The Addams Family” at the Lewis Family Playhouse last month to many enthusiastic patrons during its two-week run. RCCAAF supported IVRT’s production with a $5,000 sponsorship grant. RCCAAF also assisted IVRT in 2021 and 2022 with a start-up grant of $5,000 to create an after-school elementary chorus program called I Love Chorus (Rancho Cucamonga), accessible to 3rd through 5th grade students in Rancho Cucamonga, currently being held at Valle Vista Elementary School.

The mission of the Inland Valley Repertory Theatre is to be a regional repertory theatre company in the San Gabriel and Inland Valley communities that will culturally enrich those communities by offering high quality productions; to foster love and knowledge about the performing arts by presenting both classical and contemporary theatrical works; and to develop a creative outlet for children, adult, and senior community members through a high-quality conservatory and community
outreach workshop program.

Inland Valley Repertory Theatre, Inc. is a nonprofit theatre arts organization headquartered in the home of the founders in La Verne, California and partnering with other nonprofits and for-profit businesses to produce live theatrical productions, workshops and educational outreach programs. IVRT
provides training and experience opportunities in all aspects of theatre production for
professional, nonprofessional and volunteer participants. IVRT has always committed to
paying competitive stipends to artists, teaching artists, designers and technicians who
work on our productions, and is now established as one of the leading regional theater
companies in eastern Los Angeles County to San Bernardino County.

IVRT’s programs include:

Plays and musicals of superb artistic quality that involve professionals, nonprofessionals and volunteers of all ages, races and ethnic and religious diversities, for adult and children audiences at various venues throughout LA and San Bernardino Counties.
