THE FARCE
[of an authoritarian coverup]
IN PROGRESS

"To coverup the facts, you must control how they’re perceived. It’s all about spin.
How the story’s being told.
A coverup’s already like a play..." 


-Farce in Progress, play by A.J. Schaar

STUDIO IN LA IS ON A MISSION

TO DO THE WORK. What we're doing isn't so different. What's different is the fact that we're doing it.
We get to do the work here. Testing, talking, trying extremes, being wrong, thinking it thru, figuring it out.

TO CHALLENGE AND BE CHALLENGED. We want the public to come engage with the work;
to be a vital part of the process, not just polite observers. 

TO BRING ART AND PEOPLE TOGETHER. Theatre's a collaborative artform. It has the capacity to bring all the arts together, and comes to life with a live audience. Always, we make theatre together.

THROUGH STRUGGLE TO THE STARS.

STUDIO IN LA IS FOUNDED BY​

Susan Ricketts, Eric Bernhard, A.J. Schaar, Richard Baird

AND BY

Ethan Feerst, Gabriella Ortega Ricketts, Doug Jacobs, Clay Wilcox
