Our Mission

Established in and for Los Angeles, one of the world’s preeminent and most diverse creative communities, Lobby Theatre is dedicated to plays and playwrights that illuminate the social and moral challenges of the 21st century.

Lobby Theatre is a nonprofit founded in residence at and with an initial contribution by AGBO, an independent studio focused on developing and producing new work for film, TV, and other media. Lobby is committed to building on the traditional symbiosis of theatre and Hollywood to nurture the stories, artists, and innovative visions that will advance the reach and power of dramatic storytelling in all its forms.

Lobby is committed to creating a space where all people – our artists and our audiences – feel welcome, respected, and valued. We believe the arts have the power to make change, and we are determined to use our art to create a more just and equitable society.
