Happy New Year from Your Friends at The New American Theatre!
We're celebrating 25 Years of Theatre in Los Angeles.
Please support the theatre you love.
Happy Thanksgiving from your friends at The New American Theatre
PLEASE GIVE
​It's the Giving Season, and our annual year-end campaign to raise funds to support The New American Theatre.  

Usually this time of year, we'd be throwing a party to celebrate our past season and having a benefit to raise funds to support our upcoming one. As we know, however, there is nothing normal about this year.  And so, we will be fundraising virtually.

We know that times may be tough but we are asking if you can, to donate to the New American Theatre so that we can bring you more exciting theatre - online and onstage in 2021.

And as a token of our appreciation, we've included a link below to the comedy short 
The Jack Twidwell Story, our entrant in the TogetherLA Festival. Written by company member Jerry Lambert, starring company members Brendan Brandt, Don Harvey, David Purdham, Jade Sealey, Jeannine Wisnosky Stehlin, and Susan Ziegler. Directed by artistic director Jack Stehlin and Don Harvey.


Your friends at The New American Theatre
The New American Theatre is a 501c3 not-for-profit theatre. We rely on the generosity of our patrons to help us fund and nurture emerging and established artists and bring meaningful productions and events to our stages. If you can, please consider making a gift to help ensure that we'll be ready to open our doors to support theatre artists when this terrible pandemic is over.

When a corporate CEO interviews
a mysterious job candidate, she discovers why
alligators, poetry, and a stiff drink
might boost company morale.
Written by long-time New American Theatre company member Jerry Lambert, "Jack Twidwell" is one of a series of
short comedies that the playwright wrote for company members to work on during weekly online acting studios,
​since the beginning of the pandemic.
