Founded in 1962, the nonprofit theater co-op Theatre West has produced an acclaimed body of work both in Los Angeles and on tour across America and even the British Isles. Its plays have gone on to Broadway (Spoon River Anthology) and been made into films (A Bronx Tale), and stars like the late Carroll O'Connor and Richard Dreyfuss have acted with the company. Its interactive Storybook Theatre (for 3-9-year-olds) is a long-running favorite.
