With support from the California Arts council, SACRED FOOLS THEATER will offer a free after-school theater arts residency at Elysian Heights Arts Magnet, a Title I elementary school in east Los Angeles, and a low-cost Summer Theater Camp for underserved students in Los Angeles. Students collaborate on the creation of an original play using our unique mix of improvisation and character work. Programs culminate in a free community performance. Funds support scholarships and teaching artists.

Organization Summary

Sacred Fools Theater Company offers a full season of professional plays, a variety of readings and community projects, a popular summer theater camp, and a rental service for our unique venue. Our plays are produced regularly throughout the year for 6-8 week runs in one of our 4 intimate theater spaces. Our community-building programming ranges from open mic evenings to guest productions, readings to workshops. Our community and workshop productions are always free or donation-based.
We believe that theatre is for everyone regardless of background, race, or creed, and as part of our commitment to that ideal, and we maintain blocks of $15 tickets for all of our productions. We offer competitive rental services throughout the year to other local theater companies, producers, and teachers. Each year, we hold After-School programs, in-school classes, and a Summer Theater Camp for students aged 8-16. Our teaching artists emphasize student-led original projects that give students that chance to guide a production from an idea to a fully-realized show.
