Theatre Planners is a complete theatre production service company from start to finish.
Theatre Planners hit the Los Angeles scene out of a need for actors who wanted to create work for themselves on stage and either didn't know how or just didn't have the time.
Theatre Planners has since developed into a very busy and successful outlet for actors, producers, and theatre companies. Doing everything from producing, consulting, marketing, and more, we love making productions a reality and helping to keep the theatre scene in LA alive and strong.
Racquel is the founder and managing director of Theatre Planners, her own bi-coastal theatre production firm which has been serving the New York and Los Angeles theatre scenes for over eighteen years.

Reviews from past productions
Salvage by Tim Alderson
“Rarely does a theatergoer encounter as seamless a marriage of script, song, direction and performance as in Salvage, Tim Alderson’s emotionally captivating gem of a play.” Stage Raw- Reviewed by Iris Mann
Shooting Star: A Revealing Musical by Florian Klein
“If there’s anything gay men adore, it’s musical theater and porn, just two of the reasons why Shooting Star – A Revealing New Musical, a Hudson Mainstage World Premiere, is the gay porn musical event of this or any other year.” Stage Scene LA- Reviewed by Steven Stanley
Paradise by Laura Maria Censabella
"...The west coast premiere of playwright Laura Maria Censabella's PARADISE receives a strong mounting at the Odyssey Theatre, blessed with the sturdy acting chops of Medalion Rahimi and Jeff Marlow in this singular two-hander. Vicangelo Bulluck ably directs this important, not-oft-told story of a Muslim girl having to weigh her options of family obligations vs. personal goals. Aspects of her Muslim culture take centerstage with the problematic misfortunes of her biology professor, Dr. Royston, a disgraced scientific genius, now downgraded to teaching in an inner-city Bronx high school." Broadway World- Gil Kaan
Recorded in Hollywood The Musical
"...Recorded in Hollywood really moves musically through the period of rock and roll in its formative years, when black artists like Sam Cooke (Thomas Hobson) were starting to take off and white artists in the field were of a paltry number. Whites could not legally mix with blacks, so when whites started to infiltrate John Dolphin's record shop, police shut them down many times, claiming the blacks were having an indecent effect on the white teens. John Dolphin was no saint, to be sure." Broadway World- Reviewed by Don Grigware
