FOSTER CAT PRODUCTIONS (producer) is a Los Angeles based theatre company, founded by alumni of Atlantic Theater Company's conservatory program. Our mission is to shine a light on lesser known works from great artists. FCP is dedicated to unearthing works that have been sometimes forgotten or overshadowed by the more often-produced classics.
Most recently, the Foster Cats debuted a world premiere translation of the play Desire Caught by the Tail written by Pablo Picasso, as a part of an evening of absurdist theatre. Before that, they had a sold-out run of Power Plays by Elaine May and Alan Arkin at the prestigious Groundlings theatre.
Last fall, the foster cats brought An Evening of One-Acts by Ethan Coen to Hollywood in a sold-out run that was mentioned in the LA Times, which later, they revived as a part of their Festival of Jewish Playwrights. The festival ran for 6-weeks in which they spotlighted more work by Shel Silverstein, Wendy Wasserstein and Ethan Coen. @fostercatproductions
The name Foster Cat Productions is inspired by the artistic team's love for fostering sick and stray cats and finding them forever homes (~30 so far)!
