Specialties
Synthetic Unlimited was founded in 2002 by actors, musicians and writers from Northern California in order to produce original, independent works of art across all disciplines. Synthetic Unlimited is a member owned and operated cooperative where the members decide the artistic agenda of the company, putting artists in control of our productions. We offer acting, voice, dance and comedy classes for kids and adults and produce classic plays, musical events, dance shows, videos and podcasts at our studio in Grass Valley, California.
Our mission is to create, promote and encourage the production of independent works of art which enlighten and inspire our community, and to establish a community of Northern California artists and producers who may share resources, collaborate, and independently produce their works in a supportive environment. Empowering the independent California artist is our top priority, and the philosophy behind our slogan:
"Unlimited starts with yoU!"
