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! 🦊

Phew! It’s busy busy over here at the moment. This weekend, we opened our production of Richard 2! It is the first show I have been involved with as an adult and I’m incredibly proud of all the hard work that has gone into it and love seeing how much fun everyone is having.

There’s a fair bit of audience interaction and we were all so pleased with how receptive our two audiences were. Thank you to everyone who came along! We are running for two more weekends: tickets are extremely limited, so grab yours if you want to come see the show!

So, with that, let's move on to all the other amazing shows and events you shouldn’t miss this week! There’s also a lot that’s still playing from last 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!
