Thank you for subscribing to and reading Ensemble LA! It’s so exciting to see so many people reading and celebrating LA’s creative and scrappy theatre and creative scene each week.

Please share with anyone in LA, anyone in a show, anyone wanting to see shows, and anyone wanting to learn new creative skills. It helps it grow! ✨

Happy Monday! 🦊

Richard 2 has officially closed! It was a great three week run and I’m so grateful to everyone who came out to see us. We are already cooking up our next show for Living Room Shakespeare, so follow us on Instagram to stay up to date!

I also took some rehearsal photos of A Kind of Electra, a wonderfully exciting show from The Clown School Company that will be performed in November! I recommend getting your tickets early for this one!

While I’m here, I will also plug Play With Me, an exciting two-night immersive play reading event from Bridget Murray that I’m helping out with. We read through one of the plays today, and it was brilliant. Come along and say hi!

And with that, let’s get started on this week’s not-to-miss events!

P.S. Submit your own event for this newsletter by filling in this form or DM me on our Instagram page!
