So, you want to be a member of Ensemble Studio Theatre ­ The LA Project.

Applying for membership is relatively simple.
Becoming a member is less so.

Your Application must contain:

  1. Three (3) letters of recommendation from members.
  2. A resume, and photo if applicable.
  3. Writing sample, if applicable.
  4. A letter from you stating your reasons for wanting to join the company and what you believe you offer the company.

Before Applying:

Get involved in the community of the theatre.
Get to know members, attend events, volunteer, volunteer, volunteer, put your work out there.
Make a difference as an artist and a person.

Patience is a virtue:

Submit your application to the Members' Council via the "New Members" person.
That person is currently:
Jenny O’Hara
c/o E and P Productions
8663 Wonderland Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90046
membership@ensemblestudiotheatrela.org

The Members’ Council votes on new members twice a year, so be patient. If your application is approved, you become an Associate Member of Ensemble Studio Theatre-LA for a period of one year. During this year, you will enjoy all privileges and responsibilities of membership, except voting privileges. After the one-year probationary period, your application is reviewed again. If finalized, you become a full member of Ensemble Studio Theatre-LA. If you’d like, your application is then forwarded to Ensemble Studio Theatre (New York) for consideration by the New York Member’s Council. If approved in New York, you will have full privileges in the New York company as well. Acceptance into Ensemble Studio TheatreLA does not guarantee acceptance into Ensemble Studio Theatre (New York).

If at first you donšt succeed . . .

Membership in Ensemble Studio Theatre-LA is a lifelong commitment from the theatre to you, and as such we do not take it lightly. It is not unusual to spend several years with
the company before being accepted for membership, so, again be patient and take the long view!

Thank you for your interest.
