The Los Angeles Theatre Academy (LATA) is a multilingual theater arts organization committed to providing children and adults a safe and welcoming space to express their creativity onstage and behind-the-scenes. Our programs encourage students to find their creative voice through immersion in a complete theatrical education that includes acting, directing, set design, production, writing and more. LATA students perform alongside professional and semi-professional artists throughout Los Angeles County, as well as producing and presenting a summer festival and holiday show in our amphitheater in Elysian Park. We believe nurturing creativity in children results in a more compassionate and happy adult. LATA is dedicated to providing every student the tools they need to find their creative voice.
