Luis Valdez’s groundbreaking musical, Zoot Suit, premiered in 1978 in Los Angeles, bringing the unfiltered Chicano experience to the community from which it was born. The show uses the mythological figure, El Pachuco, original music by Lalo Guerrero, and swing and mambo dancing to carry this undeniably American tale of culture clash in the 1940s to the Los Angeles of today.

Macbeth — Our 90-minute adaptation of Shakespeare's classic tale of murderous ambition was one of four productions selected from hundreds to be presented at the 2024 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in Glendale, CA.
Mr. Grieves and The Vampires — This original production collaged the 1915 silent film serial, Les Vampires, and the classic Pixies album, "Doolittle," into a lightening-fast punk-inspired tale of an intrepid journalist who goes to perilous lengths to bring down the brutal anarchist crime syndicate, The Vampires.
She Who Was No More — An original stage adaptation of the 1954 French thriller novel of the same name, and the inspiration for the film classic, Diabolique. Six actors play dozens of roles on a minimalist set, evoking a lurid world of murder, deception, and madness.
