Playwrights in LA and the Whole 99-Seat Thing
HowlRound: I used to volunteer usher for The Black Dahlia Theatre. It was a thirty-five-seat storefront theatre on Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles, so it wasn’t a particularly demanding job, and given the size of the theatre, pretty much everyone including the ushers got house seats. The Dahlia produced new works by playwrights such as Adam Rapp, Rajiv Joseph, and Stephen Adly Guirgis. It felt like LA’s best-kept secret, this tiny tucked-away theatre producing massively exciting productions to perhaps some of the smallest houses I’d ever been a part of.
