Celebration Theatre is a community of artists dedicated to presenting innovative, provocative and relevant work that examines the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender experience. We endeavor to challenge society's perception of this community and give a vibrant voice to its evolving identity.

Celebration Theatre was founded in 1982 by gay rights pioneer (and Mattachine Society co- founder) Chuck Rowland. Celebration Theatre has existed as the only community-based professional theatre in Los Angeles endeavoring to accurately represent the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community to itself and to the community at large. Celebration moved to its present location in 1993 and hired its first full-time Artistic Director. With these changes, Celebration moved into the professional arena and has achieved major artistic recognition. The theatre steadily developed an audience and rose to its current award-winning, critically acclaimed state.
