We are a classical theatre company based in Los Angeles, CA. It is our intent to bring the work of Shakespeare and other classical authors to life here in the City of Angels. We do this because we love it. There is great joy in studying and staging the masters. It is also our belief that in our electronic and virtual age, the communal experience of theatre – and classical theatre’s communion with the past – is vitally important.
The Porters of Hellsgate Theatre Company was founded in 2006 by Edward Castuera, Jack Leahy and Charles Pasternak. Their inaugural production of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar opened at the end of that year. Since then, The Porters have almost finished their goal of producing every single play in Shakespeare’s canon.
