The Attic: The Hottest Little Coolest Theatre



You're driving on West Washington Boulevard, and you don't see it. Did you pass it? Take another look. Something special is always worth taking an extra look. It's there, waiting for you to discover it.

This special little gem nestled in a nice little neighborhood called The Washington Boulevard Arts Corridor. No, it's not all gussied up like a seductive lipsticked woman. But it does have a wonderful bold appeal. There it is. You found it. You have discovered The Attic Theatre & Film Center, the hottest little coolest theatre in L.A. No flashy marquees or accoutrements, although pretty, can also distract from what a non-profit theatrical organization may find more meaningful.

One Night Is All It Takes

Connection between the cast and audience is The Attic Theatre’s focus and forte. Spend an evening discovering this theatre's work,and you will be hooked. The Attic Theatre, co-founded by Patrick and Don Swayze, in the late 1980s, was part of Milton Katselas/Beverly Hills Playhouse. A hip place where actors and comedians studied and performed their craft. Names such as Mel Gibson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Courtney Cox, Noah Wyle, Charlene Tilton, Billy Crystal, Rae Dawn Chong andCynthia Gibb were a part of The Attic magic. James Carey, producing artistic director for The Attic Theatre & Film Center, worked and became friends with many fine talents during his busy career, including Susan Strassberg and Tony Grieco who coached and taught at The Attic.
