We are the Los Angeles Drama Club, the country’s youngest Shakespeare Troupe.

We believe in the ability of children to absorb, to comprehend and to delight in the classic works of William Shakespeare, and, finally, to experience on a personal level how universal themes explored in great literature are the connective tissues of the human condition.

We empower our Players to embrace the challenges of the creative process (learning classical text, creating a character, staging a play, performing for an audience), and we invite them to do so with enthusiasm and courage.

We witness our Players emerging from the process, as veterans of a rare experience in camaraderie and community, with a new sense of assurance, autonomy and self-motivation.
