Fall ‘23

(and beyond)

5 Years. 11 Productions. 4 Locations. A Lot of Patrons.

This Fall we begin to celebrate our 5th Anniversary (8/12/18) AND the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare’s Folio (we love a coincidence) AND it’s an election year (oh god). We are excited to not only look back at it (our 5 years), but to offer you elevated series’ that remain true to the principles that bring you, our audience, back again and again.

The year will begin with a revival of our very first, one night only, production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. By revival we mean a fundraising event; completely renamed; still occurring over 1 night; and set in an immersive discotheque in DTLA. We call it The Fairy Show.

In the Spring of 2024, almost 4 years to the day of lock down we are THRILLED, ELATED, [INSERT EVERY SYNONYM OF EXCITED) to finally bring you Muse of Fire. This epic of Shakespearean proportions will take you from rambunctious taverns to vast battlefields, as we witness Hal’s journey from playboy to King. 10 actors take on 54 roles that span the length of Henry 4 parts 1 &2/Henry 5 exploring themes of nationalism and what it means to truly lead.

In closing our celebratory year we bring you a classic that isn’t Shakespeare; is in another language (subtitles included); and set in a communal space. Yerma will introduce a new chapter of work and inclusivity featuring an all Hispanic cast. This barren tale comes at a time when the pressure cooker that is society forces us to question our own value and place within it.

Come Escape. Come Feel. Come Connect. Come join us as we pay homage to our past and introduce our foolish future.

#TheFutureIsFoolish


The Fairy Show

November 18th, 2023

Written by William Shakespeare

Directed by Lindsay Mayberry and Mikey Mulhearn

It’s giving disco. It’s giving glitter. It’s giving Foolish. Kicking off our 5th Anniversary (HOLY COW) and the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare’s First Folio (HOLIER COW), this 1 night exclusive (oooooo) fundraising event will transport you to the discotheque outside Athens. Here fairies reign, lovers run away from their parents, and a troupe of oddballs rehearse a play. Told from the Fairies perspective, this immersive take on Midsummer pays homage to our past and introduces our future.


Muse of Fire
