The Fountain Theatre is a non-profit organization established in 1990 by co-founders Deborah Culver and Stephen Sachs dedicated to providing a nurturing, creative home for multi-ethnic theatre and dance artists.
Here we develop provocative new works or explore a unique vision of established plays that reflect the immediate concerns and cultural diversity of contemporary Los Angeles and the nation.

In an era of urban anxiety, ethnic hostility, and wavering spirit, The Fountain offers a safe, supportive haven for a family of artists of varied backgrounds to gather, interact and inspire each other toward the creation of work that will ignite and illuminate the community from which it’s drawn and give creative voice to those who may not otherwise be heard.

Housed in a charming two-story complex in Hollywood, California, The Fountain has grown into one of the most successful of the smaller venues in the busy Los Angeles theatre world. With the addition of Producing Director Simon Levy, Development Director Barbara Goodhill, Associate Producer James Bennett, Technical Director Scott Tuomey, and Community Engagement Coordinator France-Luce Benson, The Fountain Theatre has an artistic family with a wealth of experience that is quickly bringing the theatre’s work to the attention of larger and larger audiences.

The Fountain Theatre‘s activities include a year-round season of fully-produced new and established plays (32 world premieres and 45 U.S., West Coast, Southern California or Los Angeles premieres in 29 years, each reflecting a unique cultural voice and serving a distinctive ethnic community). We’re also the foremost presentors of Flamenco in Los Angeles; have a New Plays developmental series, Educational Outreach Programs, and national/international tours.

Fountain Theatre productions have won hundreds of awards for all areas of production, performance, and design.
