Directed by Tim Robbins, the documentary follows a group of incarcerated men from Calipatria State Prison as they participate in a theatrical workshop with The Actors’ Gang Prison Project.
Critically acclaimed Embedded returns to our stage for a limited screening run of its film version, Embedded Live! Written and directed by Tim Robbins, the play examines the War in Iraq through its key players: the Bush officials who concocted it, the embedded journalists who covered it, and the soldiers who fought it.
Since the first stay-at-home order, The Prison Project Alumni have been gathering in a Zoom room to continue the work they began while incarcerated. For the first time in this process, the Alumni have decided to share the work they do by opening the workshop.

Originally conceived as a film and adapted for a new realm of aural entertainment in pandemic times, Bobbo Supreme follows in the tradition of Robbins’ 1992 film, Bob Roberts, and his 2004 production of Embedded.

– “Obviously gifted performers”
– “The Gang is an enormously talented and versatile ensemble with a genius for refreshingly engaged political humor.”
Free Shakespeare in the Park
Since 2006, every summer we have gathered with our community for our Free Shakespeare in the Park. Over 30,000 community members across Los Angeles have come together and shared joy with each other. This summer is the first one when we are not able to gather and celebrate each together and, oh, how much we miss you. But it’s all in the spirit of love as we are all working towards being able to meet again in the safe and magical world of theater.

The Actors’ Gang theater company has produced over 100 plays in Los Angeles, in forty US states, and on five continents. The Actors’ Gang was founded in 1981 by a group of young artists looking to build a theater in Los Angeles that would present relevant and vibrantly entertaining plays for the stage. Guided by Founding Artistic Director, Tim Robbins, the company provides a supportive environment for a diverse ensemble of artists and the development of their groundbreaking work. Their goal is to produce plays that contribute to the ongoing dialogue about our society and culture, while never forgetting that theater’s primary purpose is to entertain.
