Our Team

Celebration Theatre is governed by a board of directors and executive staff committed to fulfilling its mission and thoughtful consideration of our evolving cause. Meet the strategists, professionals, and community leaders shaping the organization off stage.

Land Acknowledgement

Celebration Theatre acknowledges that we operate on the unceded lands of the Tongva, Kizh, Chumash, and other Indigenous peoples who made their homes in and around the area we now call Los Angeles. Naming the original caretakers of this land is one way to register our impact on the financial, emotional, and generational damage we may cause by using local spaces for our purposes of entertainment. We encourage you to deepen your support for healing Indigenous communities. (Whose land are you on?)

EDI at Celebration Theatre

Guided by the Los Angeles Anti-Racism Theatre Standards as its adopted footprint, Celebration Theatre has embarked on an ongoing, iterative journey of self-reflection, accountability, and action to always do better. Celebration Theatre is also a member of the Queer Theatre Alliance, a consortium of LGBTQIA+ theatres across the nation joining hands as a community to strengthen our cause. We are building channels for idea sharing and best practices to better inform how EDI flows throughout the many intersections of our LGBTQIA+ community.

We aim to consistently engage with communities in a meaningful way and not just on a show-by-show basis. Through living documents, increasingly transparent processes, and pushes towards power sharing and collaborative leadership, the theatre can do its part within the Greater Los Angeles community to reduce harm and build more equitable practices.

Our Impact & History

As one of the nation’s very oldest LGBTQIA+ theatre organizations, our decades of artmaking and community building reverberate throughout LA and beyond. Discover which luminaries and pioneers have been part of the Celebration fabric.
