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 art scene each week with me.

Please share with anyone creative in LA, anyone in a show, and anyone wanting to see shows. ✨

Happy Monday! 🦊

I’m putting together the newsletter today, still buzzing off watching the wonderful clown and mime show “Where Am I?” from The Clown School last night. It was truly one of the most joyful and whimsical performances I’ve seen in a while.

Seeing such a big turnout from such a loving and supportive audience was also amazing. It was one of those evenings that reminds you why the LA independent theatre scene is so special. And it was lovely to meet more of you readers in person!

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

P.S. If you want to submit your own event for this newsletter, fill in this form or DM me on our Instagram page! It helps me a lot!
