So you want to be a member of Ensemble Studio Theatre-LA...

Applying for membership is relatively simple. Becoming a member takes some time.

Before applying:

Get involved in the community of our theatre: volunteer, volunteer, volunteer.
Get to know members, attend events, and put your work out there.
Make a difference as an artist and a person.

Your application must contain:

1. Three (3) letters of recommendation from members.
2. A resume; actors must also enclose a headshot; playwrights must also enclose one full-length play.
3. A letter from you stating your reasons for wanting to join the company and what you believe you offer the company.

 
Submit your application to the Members' Council via the New Members Committee.

Address your application to:

Adam Prince, Chair
New Members Committee
Ensemble Studio Theatre-LA
137 N. Larchmont Boulevard, #134
Los Angeles, CA 90004 

Patience is a virtue:

The Members' Council votes on new members twice a year, so please be patient. It's important that each member of the Council be familiar with both your work as an artist and your contributions to the life of the company.

If your application is approved, you become an Associate Member of Ensemble Studio Theatre-LA for a period of one year. During this year you will enjoy all privileges and responsibilities of membership except voting privileges. After the one-year period, your application is reviewed again. If finalized, you become a full lifetime member of Ensemble Studio Theatre-LA.

 
If at first you don't succeed...

Membership in Ensemble Studio Theatre-LA is a life-long commitment from the theatre to you and vice-versa, and as such we do not take it lightly. It is not unusual to spend several years with the company before being accepted for membership, so please be patient and take the long view!

Thank you for your interest.
