SYNOPSIS

Love’s Labour’s Lost: Four gentlemen commit to a celibate life of disciplined study, but the last thing they expect is a quartet of aristocratic ladies to sweep them off their feet. Shakespeare’s intoxicating wit meets Bridgerton’s spicy society drama in this lush, bawdy, and bittersweet romantic comedy.

Community Action Update: Art Break Podcasts

Doctor Faustus: A mysterious scholar sets his sights on mastering the dark arts and strikes a deal with the devil to make the magic happen. Marlowe’s playful, seductive fever dream becomes a satirical, soul-stirring thrill ride where unchecked ego meets ultimate consequence. After all, when you play with fire…there’s hell to pay.

Alongside these extraordinary productions, ISCLA (the Independent Shakespeare Company Los Angeles) have special events all summer long, including workshops, theme nights, and community engagement activations.
