That involves doing shows both in the neighborhood and taking them out of the neighborhood. In the beginning, we became a surprising hit and were asked to go to a lot of other places, but recently we haven't been asked to go to a lot of other places. Most of what we do is in the neighborhood or in some conveniently located theaters at the edge of the neighborhood. In any case we invite people from Los Angeles to come to see the work. Mostly, the people that come are people from the neighborhood.
Different organizations send people in groups to the shows.
The whole company is from the area so the people who they know come, though that is a lot more attenuated than in most theater companies, friends and family. Here, most people don't have that many friends and family who know where they are. We have a lot of word of mouth. They aren't usually the story of how I hit the street but sometimes they are. For example, in one of the earlier pieces we did, somebody was thrown out of a fourth story window and lived to tell about it.
