Katselas Theatre Company
The Theatre Company of the Beverly Hills Playhouse

The Beverly Hills Playhouse has since 1983 cherished a close working relationship with Katselas Theatre Company (formerly Camelot Artists) productions, a not-for-profit company that has been an artistic home for Los Angeles-based playwrights, directors, actors and designers. Katselas Theatre Company is committed to the premise than an artist must be free to create, take risks and develop theatrical works of artistic excellence with the intent to entertain, provoke and illuminate audiences.

Over its first 20 years, Katselas Theatre Company has to its credit over 500 productions (a third of them original works), over 5,000 actors, technicians, designers and directors employed, over 30,000 audiences played to, and every year its shows are singled out for artistic excellence. Katselas Theatre Company has also become a voice to address important societal issues – in 1986, it provided a home where people with AIDS could write about and perform their personal stories. AIDS US: A Profile of Personal Courage was invited to perform in Sacramento for the California Senate. Katselas Theatre Company has also served as a valuable training ground for actors, writers and directors, and has provided over 1,000 scholarships to artists of all stripes, assisting them in achieving their dreams.

Katselas Theatre Company exists solely through the donations it receives and the ticket income from its productions. All students of the Beverly Hills Playhouse are granted membership in the Katselas Theatre Company community, and are thus free to audition for parts, submit original projects, or participate in this prestigious Los Angeles theatre company in any number of other ways as well.
