Black Lives Matter
Company of Angels is dedicated to creating theatre that is deeply connected to its community. We share and help give a voice to the many stories that exist in said community. Through a collective of Actors, Directors, Playwrights, Designers, and Administrators, our company forges ongoing and meaningful relationships with the residents of Los Angeles. Company of Angels’ artists embrace the responsibility to face the darkness, tell the truth, and bring forth to light. We take action by raising our voices and demand justice for George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor. We say their names, sadly holding a long list of others in our hearts, to continually educate ourselves on how to confront problematic racial patterns in our own lives and work. We stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, and send love to our Los Angeles community.
Below are just a few resources we have found useful in our ongoing work to see clearly, to work to advance racial equity, to work to dismantle racism. It will take all of us working together to ensure justice and civil rights for all.

We look forward to sharing more dialogue with you, virtually for now, in person as soon as we may gather.
With love and hope for our future together.
