🎭 LA Theatre and Creative Events: Sep 2 - Sep 9

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. ✨

Happy Monday! 🦊

I’m just finishing off an exciting month in my scene study class: I played Konstantin in The Seagull alongside my good friend who played Arkadina. It was a wonderful experience and a role I’d love to revisit one day.

Another big piece of news is that tickets to Richard 2 are now live! I have been working on this show for the past few months, composing music and rehearsing to play live for the shows. I would love to see you there!

So, with that, let's move on to all the amazing shows and events you shouldn’t miss this week!
