The Actors Theatre Workshop (ATW) was founded by Thurman E. Scott in 1990, with a mission to help people achieve their potential through drama. From conservatory classrooms to housing facilities to corporate boardrooms, we use our creative process technique as a tool to develop individual potential, create tangible change, and liberate the talents and abilities in people from all walks of life. ATW believes that creativity is the great equalizer and unifier among human beings, and that theater must play an active role in a community’s life. At ATW’s heart is our robust roster of community programs that use theater to engage historically marginalized populations, from children experiencing housing instability to formerly incarcerated persons.

We forge connections through stirring presentations of chamber music across the Bay Area. Left Coast Chamber Ensemble makes connections between composer and performer, performer and audience, audience and music, and between musics of all eras by staging a spectrum of imaginative programs that enchant and delight the listener, and gives diverse audiences multiple entry points for engaging with the music. Founded in 1992, Left Coast Chamber Ensemble communicates with audiences through inspiring performances of new and old chamber music. By embracing both musics, we enrich the audience’s experience — we reawaken a feeling of immediacy in performances of familiar masterpieces and we reveal the powerful expressive intentions in the music of our time. The ensemble’s twelve musicians, many of whom have played together since the 1980s, perform in different combinations, using strings, winds, guitar and piano to present a wide range of repertoire. The group has commissioned over 55 new works, sponsors an annual composition contest that draws over 150 applicants each year, and carries on a tradition of performing the very best that the composers of today (whether established or emerging) have to offer.
