We are one of the only 100% democratically-led theater companies in Los Angeles, and our members pay no dues to remain a member. We believe theater is a collective art between the artists and the audience, and, as such, we are always seeking ways to reach out and bring theater to underserved populations.

The fulcrum of our mission currently rests in our weekly Monday night workshop where we develop the work from our writers. Our structure is such that it evolves as we do. Just like our own artistic development, our process is ever-changing and always improving.
