The Studio Ensemble is a dynamic groundbreaking theater company for early-career actors who are committed to exploring innovative theatre practices, and creating bold theater that serves as a galvanizing force for social change. We are passionate about devising new works as well as reimagining and adapting existing plays. We are a company that was founded on a principle of diversity and inclusion,
and we are committed to narratives that support marginalized identities and communities. Since its inception in 2016, the Studio Ensemble has acquired a reputation for creating beautifully staged, innovative, and socially conscious theatre with exceptional physical precision and emotional depth. The Studio Ensemble has mounted 8 productions at The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, and performed at three international performing arts festivals.
