I read 1984 in 1987 (8th grade) and studied Russian and went to the USSR because of it. I was concerned how someone who supported a socialist could direct this profound story. Mr. Robbins honored Mr. Orwell's work and the REAL people who died, suffered and continue to be punished because of non-conformity. Will Thomas McFadden delivered a performance on a level that I have only experienced once in my 46-years (The Phantom on Broadway like 2015 maybe, he made my 13-yr-old daughter cry out of passion). The entire Actors' Gang 1984 experience is pure passion!

1984 was a gripping, yet simple production. When Tim Robbins finally arrives on scene you are overcome with the realization that we are meek followers... That truth and virtue will never overcome. I wish I could tell you it all turns out ok. I wish I could tell you that life is fair and all will be well....
What I can tell you is that this is a theatre worth buying a ticket to see any show they make...
Thanks a heap, I had a great time!!!

Cool theater that presents interesting and diverse shows/plays. Also, such a great theater space, warm and welcoming vibe, kind staff and an overall great local theater! I really recommend this place to any local theater "junkie" that would like to see some quality, local theater on the Westside of Los Angeles!

This place is just amazing. The shows, the actors, the vibe, the theater itself! The first show I saw here was Tartuffe and since then, I haven't missed any single one. This company rocks!

Saw "Harlequino" last night and it is supremely entertaining.
Best kind of play; talented, engaging actors, comedically presenting historic events that are relevant to the world today. The play then shines a light in the direction to proceed once the play is over. Remember the saying, Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Set is unique in its spareness, which allows the audience to watch an actor on the "sidelines." This gives an unexpected layer to the production, that enriched my experience. The audience can see the reaction of actors on the sidelines, responding to the actors on-stage.
Tim Robbins and The Actors Gang is quickly becoming a National Treasure and an oracle for our strange times.

About The Actor's Gang

The Actor's Gang: A Theater Company with a Difference

The Actors’ Gang is a theater company that was founded in 1981 by a group of young actors who were passionate about building a theater that would present relevant and vibrantly entertaining plays. Since then, the company has grown to become one of the most respected and innovative theater companies in the United States.

At The Actors’ Gang, we believe that theater should be more than just entertainment. It should be an experience that challenges, inspires, and provokes thought. Our productions are designed to do just that – to engage our audiences on multiple levels and leave them with something to think about long after they have left the theater.

One of the things that sets The Actors’ Gang apart from other theater companies is our commitment to social justice. We believe that art can be a powerful tool for change, and we use our productions as a platform for exploring important social issues such as race, gender equality, immigration rights, and environmentalism.

Our productions are also known for their high level of creativity and innovation. We work with some of the most talented writers, directors, designers, and performers in the industry to create shows that are visually stunning and intellectually stimulating.

In addition to producing plays at our home base in Culver City, California (the Ivy Substation), we also tour extensively throughout the United States and internationally. Our touring productions have been seen by audiences all over Europe as well as in Asia and South America.

At The Actors’ Gang, we are committed not only to producing great theater but also to nurturing new talent. We offer classes for actors of all levels as well as workshops on writing, directing, design, stage combat – you name it! Our goal is to provide aspiring artists with the tools they need to succeed in this challenging industry.

If you’re looking for an exciting night out at the theater or if you’re interested in pursuing your passion for acting or other aspects of theatrical production – look no further than The Actors’ Gang! With our commitment to social justice issues combined with our innovative approach to storytelling – there’s never been a better time than now join us on this journey towards creating meaningful art!
