“A center for innovative Shakespeare productions in Los Angeles, this company founded by Artistic Director Ben Donenberg does more than offer groundbreaking revivals like the 2023 immersive staging of "The Tempest," a collaboration with After Hours Theatre Company. Shakespeare is treated as a resource for the community, with arts education programs tailored to underserved youth, veterans and formerly incarcerated people. The work, made all the more potent for not being elitist or academic, is returned to the people. Best of all is the way the poetry and performance vitality of the plays are unleashed by ensembles that reflect the vibrant diversity of the city this company honorably serves.”
