Initially serving the seniors at the LA LGBTQ Center, the company began producing shows in 2012 as part of the City of West Hollywood’s One City One Pride Arts Festival. In 2014, the program became part of the award-winning Oasis Theater Company. The company has produced 15 performances and over 30 workshops including Musical Theater with Broadway’s Kay Cole.
In 2020, the company rose to the challenge of Covid lockdowns and began producing online classes and two performances. “I was concerned that the technological demands would lessen our reach and that many people would feel uncomfortable on Zoom. Boy, was I wrong!” Salyer explains. “We are excited to open our programs to a wider audience through online projects,” says Salyer.
