Your LA. Your Theater.
ABOUT US
In order to bridge the diverse communities of Los Angeles, needtheater produces performances that cultivate social dialogue, nurture artists, and expand the role of theater in society.
needtheater was founded in 2006. We are currently in residence at the Imagined Life Theatre, producing two main stage shows there each year. In addition, we produce the annual ArtBash festival, present site-specific happenings like the Lost Moon Radio Show, and curate a weekly Sunday reading series. “needtheater is consistently savvy.” - LA City Beat.
