About seven years ago, a group of
actors took it upon themselves to take control of their own destiny.
These actors, all from different parts of the nation, all had a common
bond the love for good works.
At first it was just a weekly
get together of some sort. Until finally, they realized that they were
all benefiting from each and everyone's experiences in regards to their
own acting methods. They then decided as a group to meet once a week to
workshop original works for the sake of keeping their skills fresh.
Thus, the birth of the company.
Our company is an organized and professional
group of talented and dedicated actors, writers and directors,
all committed to the same goals. We produce two or three main stage
shows a year, a showcase of scenes for Casting Directors
and Agents, and various other second stage projects. In addition,
we continue to attract well-known casting directors to educate
and workshop cold readings with us throughout the year. If
you are interested in becoming a member of our company, please click

Civilization

|
|
Backstabbing,
struggling, romance, fame, glory, murder – except for the fame
and glory it sounds like a typical Los Angeles theatre company.
This play follows a desperate group of actors who will do just about
anything to get noticed and reviewed. This dark, edgy comedy has
singing, dancing, and a courtroom trial where the audience is the jury
(only they won’t get any money for mileage).
