The revitalized company teamed with UCLA’s theater department chair, Brian Kite, to increase the partnership from just renting the space at Freud Playhouse to involving the UCLA theater department. “It benefits both sides in a really great way.

“My actors have the opportunity to really hit the ground running and then take a break and let it marinate,” casting director Julia Flores says of the collaboration between Valley Performing Arts Center (Vpac) and La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts.
