The Los Angeles Theatre Ensemble is a not-for-profit arts organization dedicated to staging theatre works of high artistic integrity while endeavoring to remain broadly accessible and genuinely entertaining. The ensemble holds fast in its commitment to strike a balance between providing a venue for emerging artists and veteran artists; between the works of new playwrights, and revisiting timely and important classics.  Our ensemble nourishes an open artistic affinity where a free-flow of artists, ideas, and philosophical debate keeps us engaged in our community and proactive in our pursuit of excellence. In its first season the Ensemble had the World Premiere of its original collaborative work, Wounded, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, and the World Premiere of Dan Keleher’s critically acclaimed, Kindred in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles premiere of Stone Cold Dead Serious, by Adam Rapp, concluded the Ensemble’s first season by following the Los Angeles premiere of Neil LaBute’s The Distance From Here.
