My parents took me to this theater when I was a kid to see shows. I've always come away being inspired! As an adult, I still come to this theater. It's a special place with absolutely wonderful people!
This organization puts on captivating and engaging plays, does exceptional work with kids of all ages, and does transformative work with incarcerated men and women. The actors, staff, and teaching artists are kind, professional, and talented. The arts heal and The Actors' Gang has certainly proved that to me.
When I witness the work of The Actors' Gang on stage and how it's applied in the outreach programs, it feels like I'm in a vehicle of discovery that invites courage and vulnerability. Through The Prison Project and Education Department, TAG provides language, tools, and support that I believe are vital to our emotional intelligence and health as a society. I feel deeply grateful to be part fo a community committed to utilizing the power of the arts to impact social change.
I love The Actors' Gang. This theater is committed to its community, both large and small. Its theater is bold and inventive. Its outreach programs are fueled by love and an honest desire to connect with and create opportunities for all participants. The theater and its team are committed to uplifting all who take part in its work, no matter how they participate.
In a world of social, racial, cultural, economic, and gender-based injustice, it is wonderful to see a community coming together to tackle some of the biggest injustices our country faces today. As a child, I grew up with a single mother who worked two jobs, and we couldn't afford theater....ever. Knowing that today there is a safe space where everyone can enjoy performing arts regardless of their economic status is inspiring. I am so proud to be a part of such a community, and to see people of all ages enjoy theater makes me have hope for the future.
Takes care of those that want to watch theater when majority cant afford. on Thursdays pay what you can, its hella delighful.
They welcome all no matter who are.
Learn how to be a human on stage with different emotions in a safe space that welcomes emotions.
''I love it here! Very professional, organized, compassionate staff and helpers! I am going to spread the word not only to those in need but to those who can contribute. I am beyond grateful to have found you! Keep up the great work! God Bless you all!''
''The Actor's Gang is such an amazing organization within our community!! I can truly say that EVERY staff member working at The Actors' Gang really shows love and compassion towards others. I have witnessed the staff members going above and beyond assist individuals facing hardships and accommodate these individuals in breaking barriers to success. The Actor's Gang has not only been a blessing to our community but they have also been such a blessing to me. They are greatly appreciated by, me, our community partners, community members, and surrounding communities!!!''
The Actors' Gang is an amazing organization. They produce high quality live theater and on top of that, they bring programs to kids in schools and workshops to incarcerated people. Everyone on their staff is professional, courteous and friendly. I highly recommend supporting them! Buy a ticket to see a play or support their work.
Amazing organization. Every single week of every production in every season you can get a Pay What You Can ticket, and the shows are amazing. So refreshing to see original work, including stories of real lived experiences (such as immigration & asylum seekers) at a price anyone can afford. They also have incredible outreach programs working with at-risk youth and those involved in the justice system, even throughout the pandemic since it started. Unstoppable. I love them.
what a beautiful and creative sanctuary. the actors' gang has given it's light to the communities around Los Angeles through unique and impactful art. from the after school programs giving kids a safe place to grow their own imaginations, to the prison project which changes the narrative of who the incarcerated are and how the public see them after their time inside. the actors' gang strives for theater that holds a mirror to society while also holding itself accountable in consideration of equality and diverse representation. I hope that this place exists in perpetuity, we need it.
What I can say about The Actors ' Gang in one word: LOVE. This place is learning, compassion, human care, respect, full of all people with good hearts. Since I started to work here. I am learning every day. The job environment is kind, the teachers, the actors, the directors , the manager. All the company's members inspire me to collaborate with joy and kindness too. I feel so blessed to work here. Their mission touched my heart. The prison project and the student classes have awareness, transformation and freedom. I am so honored to work here. Thank you!
The most important thing as an immigrant is the first time that I feel home in my job.
