About
The Unusual Suspects Theatre Company is a nonprofit arts organization that bridges systemic inequalities in the lack of arts access in Los Angeles through tuition-free, high-quality arts programs focused specifically on amplifying original voices. Focused on the live theatre space, The Unusual Suspects aims to create a stage for a new generation of storytellers where all LA youth are equipped with the tools and resources to effectively and powerfully share their own stories.
Providing free access to dozens of year-long theatre residencies focused on the creation and performance of original plays, as well as exposure to professional theatre performances, The Unusual Suspects has evolved from a local program serving roughly 50 participants in Van Nuys in 1993 into a robust program that serves over 3,000 youth and families in over 20 communities of LA annually.
