History[edit]
Marcia Seligson served as Founder and Producing Artistic Director from 1997 - 2006. From 1998 - 2001 Ronn Goswick served as the managing director. He left in 2002 when she was joined by Producing Director, Jim Gardia, who stayed with the company in that role until 2008, with a brief stint as Producing Artistic Director during the 2006-07 Season. Danny Feldman took on the role of managing director in 2006 and served in that position until he left in 2010. Jason Alexander became artistic director of the company in 2007. He was joined by Susan Dietz in the role of Producing Director in 2008 until she left in 2010.
Gilles Chiasson joined the company as Producing Director in 2010. Christine Bernardi Weil assumed the role of managing director that same year, both partnering with Jason Alexander to run the company.
After years of well-received performances, the company was forced to cancel several productions in 2011 due to budgetary concerns. In February 2012, the Board announced a production hiatus, citing dwindling ticket sales.[1][3] In June 2013, a letter to subscribers announced they were ceasing operations due to what the Los Angeles Times reported was difficulty obtaining "sustained funding".[4]
