About
The Actors’ Gang was founded in 1981 by a group of young actors looking to build a theater that would present relevant and vibrantly entertaining plays. Over the past 38 years, The Actors’ Gang has performed for audiences in Los Angeles and throughout the world, on five continents and in 40 U.S. States. Our groundbreaking Prison Project is currently in twelve California prisons, serving incarcerated women, men and children with rehabilitation programs that significantly reduce the recidivism rate. Each year, thousands of children in Los Angeles public schools discover confidence and creativity with our Education Department through in-school immersion and after-school programs and by participating in classes that encourage acceptance, respect and team building in a fun and impactful way.
The theater company has presented the work of innovative theater artists including Georges Bigot, Simon Abkarian, Charles Mee, David Schweizer, Bill Rauch and the Cornerstone Theatre Company, Tracy
Why we're Green
The Actors' Gang has been committed to environmentally friendly practices for years. In addition to the practices already in place (recycling, serving patrons with washable plates, glasses and utensils, using recycled cardboard boxes instead of plastic boxes, using LED lighting) we made other business choices to reduce our carbon footprint. We encourage the use of public transportation and car-pooling, use environmentally friendly cleaning supplies, purchase recycled paper for our copier and we recently joined the Kimberly-Clark recycle program for latex gloves. Our fight for our environment is ongoing.
