The Unusual Suspects Theatre Company empowers students to use their lived experiences to create original stories that are deeply personal.
Our students write their own stories, turning meaningful lived experiences into extraordinary, boundless, and creative worlds while building creativity, confidence, and communication skills along the way.
In Conservatory, High School students draw from their life experiences to create an original play with their peers and perform it in front of the community at DEVISE FEST, our annual showcase in L.A.
ELA and VAPA aligned, our students use theatre as an immersive tool for learning storytelling foundations. Students then create their own original plays which are showcased in a live performance at the end of the semester.
