✨ LA Shows and Events: July 15 - 21

Thank you for subscribing to Ensemble LA, where we celebrate and share LA’s creativity and exciting, scrappy theatre scene!

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

This weekend, my wife and I watched the Jim Henson documentary on Disney+. As a Labyrinth superfan, I loved getting to look behind the scenes—but even more, I loved seeing the development of such a creative superpower. Beyond his innovative imagination, I was particularly inspired by his open-hearted collaboration and his unshakable sense of optimism.

In other news, we now have an Instagram page to follow! I’ll be sharing shows on my stories there and accepting DMs for anything you want to promote. The submission form also still applies!

Get ready for this week’s clowns, performers, and all-out entertainers. Here are the LA shows and create events you shouldn’t miss!
