    No answer when I call this place and the answering machine says they'll reopen in July? Anyone knows if they're open?

    Hi! I'm from the Philippines and a beginner actor. I am interested to study there in your studio. May I know if you accept international students? Thank you!

    Yes we do! The only requirement is that your English is fluent at a reading and conversational level. If not, I'm afraid your time here wouldn't be well-spent. In anticipation of your next question because we are contacted by international students… Read more

    I'm 66. Never acted but I am curious. Are there many students there my age?. I don't want to feel out of place or make a fool of myself.

    You'd be surprised! I don't want to "out" any of my over 35yr old students but the answer is "yes." There is a good handful of people in the studio currently who are over 55 for sure. Generally, too, the students are all over 25 and in their 30's.… Read more

    He understands this implicitly, because he's also a working actor and is in the trenches every day like I am.

    Such an incredible space for the arts in a much needed community of LA. I've been coming to this…read moretheater now for almost 3 years and I have loved every visit. Truly not many other spaces like it, which makes it one of a kind.

    Please support this beautiful little local theater! Located in Westlake, this venue conveniently…read morehas a large parking lot for its patrons. I came here with friends to watch Rayuela Hacia EL Mas Alla. It was all in Spanish, but for those like me that only have 2 years of high school Spanish, there were subtitles projected on the top of the stage. The play was a dark comedy with a little bit of everything. It had humor, drama, terror, a love story and a "non-hollywood ending." Going in with an open mind and not knowing what the play was about, I was blown away. Parts of the play made me think of Guillermo Del Toros Pans Labyrinth and Kurt Vonnegut from my AP English class in high school. With its morbid beauty and dystopian setting. It amazed me how such a large story could be played out on such a small stage with just a few actors through the use of lighting, minimal props, and and the expression of those actors. Kudos to Laura Santa Cruz and Manuel Chitay for a wonderful performance. It was very creative how they used the same projector to animate the clocks and show the passage of time. As well as (not to give anything away) execute certain scenes. This play is very unique in the sense that every few weeks they change the ending and have a different actress. Which not only brings a different take on the story but keeps you coming back for more.
