New Theater Company Theater4All Announces Inaugural Production

Theater4All, a new nonprofit theater company founded by talent representative, entrepreneur, writer, and arts advocate John Epstein, producing artistic director of the organization, has launched with a mission to broaden access to live theater for youth, families, and audiences across Southern California.

Epstein has spent more than 15 years working closely with artists in Los Angeles and over that time, he has witnessed how limited funding and structural barriers often prevent projects from reaching audiences and restrict opportunities for both artists and the communities they hope to engage.

Theater4All’s inaugural production, Crone Creed—written by John Epstein, Casey Morgan, and T. Theresa Scarano—will run September 30-October 17 at the El Portal Theatre. This mythic drama spanning centuries follows Vita, a young woman whose life is shattered by religious violence and betrayal in medieval Europe. Reborn in the late 1800s American frontier as part of an ancient lineage of mystical women known as the Crones, she discovers her brother has also returned through time as part of a corrupting force known as the Fallen.

In celebration of El Portal Theatre’s 100th anniversary season, Theater4All will partner with El Portal on a special accessibility initiative. For select performances of Crone Creed, the organization will offer 100 tickets priced at $19.26, to honor the year El Portal was founded. Specific dates for these performances will be announced soon. Additionally, Theater4All will host a dedicated student matinee for Los Angeles high school students.

The cast and creative team for Crone Creed will be announced at a later date.
