🎭 HNY! Theatre and Creative Events Jan 7 - 14

Thank you for subscribing to and reading Ensemble LA where we celebrate LA’s scrappy theatre and creative scene.

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 New Year!! 🦊

I’m excited to be back at this after a long and much-needed break!

I’ve just finished a clown winter intensive at The Clown School, and I feel like it did more for me than years of therapy could, hah! It was amazing to meet and play with people all over the country and finally know why everyone I know and love, loves clowning so much.

I was also marveling at how brave people are traveling across the country to try something completely new to them—just wow! Feeling exhausted and happy! I highly recommend one of The Clown School classes if you haven’t done one already.

Things are slowly starting to get going again in the LA theatre scene, and I look forward to another year of sharing the best with you!

If you have a show or class coming up fill in this form or DM me on our Instagram page!
