The Curtain Closes…
After nearly three decades in the Los Angeles theatre scene, it is with bittersweet hearts that we announce that Theatre Planners will no longer offer producing services. Racquel has transitioned to real estate, quickly becoming one of the top realtors at Pinnacle Estate Properties. Misha has recently accepted the position of Programming Manager at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. They are both excited for their next chapters.
Theatre Planners was born out of a desire to support and uplift theatre makers in Los Angeles, and it has been an honor to bring countless stories to life — championing new works, presenting timeless classics, and connecting with so many incredible artists in the process. Theatre Planners will always be a part of this vibrant creative community. Theatre Planners will continue providing a home for theatre and the arts through their rental venues the Zephyr Theatre & Lounge on Melrose Studios in West Hollywood; Theatre 68 Arts Complex in North Hollywood; and their newest space Upstairs @ El Centro in Hollywood.
Thank you to each and every person who supported Theatre Planners and allowed us to bring your production to life. Your trust and loyalty throughout the years turned a dream into a thriving business, creating memories and relationships that we’ll cherish forever. We end this chapter full of love and gratitude.
