About The Fountain Theatre
The Fountain Theatre is a non-profit producing organization established in 1990
by co-Artistic Directors Deborah Lawlor and Stephen Sachs dedicated to providing
a nurturing, creative home for multi-ethnic theatre and dance artists. The
Fountain offers a safe, supportive haven for artists of varied backgrounds to
gather, interact and inspire each other toward the creation of work that will
ignite and illuminate the community from which it's drawn and give creative
voice to those who may not otherwise be heard.
Now in its 13th year, The
Fountain has grown into one of the most successful of the intimate venues in the
busy Los Angeles theatre world. The Fountain Theatre's activities include a
year-round season of fully-produced new and established plays (23 world
premieres and 17 Los Angeles premieres, each reflecting a unique cultural voice
and serving a distinctive ethnic community), a full season of multi-ethnic
dance, a New Plays developmental series, educational outreach programs, an
HIV/AIDS acting workshop, the American Literature Theatre Project, the
development of a Children's Theatre program in association with a neighborhood
elementary school, the Young Playwrights Project, and off-site
presentations/tours. Fountain Theatre projects have been seen in Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, Chicago, Cleveland, Texas, Vancouver and
India. To date, Fountain Theatre productions have won more than 100 awards for
all areas of production, performance, and design, including being the only
Intimate Theatre in Los Angeles to win the prestigious Theatre LA OVATION Award
for Best Production twice.
