A free-wheeling, no holds barred, Commedia Del Arte flavored, physically challenging, slapstick driven, acrobatic, travelling theater company may be coming to a park, amphitheater, school auditorium, dirt lot, or playhouse near you!

Troubadour Theater Co. is a Los Angeles based ensemble of multitalented actors, musicians, and comedians that has been performing for audiences throughout Southern California and the World since 1995.  Their fast-paced, laugh-filled, loose adaptations (some of the lines are still there) of classic plays, as well as their original productions and hilarious sketch material, make this company a unique and exciting experience for theater goers of any age. 

Troubadour has played to audiences throughout California, performing in parks, schools, parades, Legion Halls, food festivals, and fringe festivals. The company is a Not for Profit organization and has performed charitably for many causes including animal conservation, adult rehabilitation, AIDS awareness, and youth programs.  Troubadour members have professional experience as writers, directors, and performers for film, television, theater, orchestra, and circus. 

In its adaptations of the Bard's classics, Troubadour has combined the beauty of Shakespeare's language with feats of acrobatic physicality, comic routines, and musical numbers. What makes for even more fun is the clownish, interactive style in which the performances are presented. Improvisation plays a large part as audience members are called upon to help erect the set, sing along, and even enlisted to play parts!  Never the same show twice!  

Troubadour  was one of five arts oganizations selected by the Santa Monica City Council to program youth entertainment at the newly renovated Miles Memorial Playhouse in Santa Monica.  Troubadours' travels have grown each year to include theaters in Hollwood (The Ford Amphitheatre) (The Matrix Theatre), Santa Monica (Miles Playhouse), Garden Grove (Grove Theatre Center), Fullerton (Muckenthaler Cultural Center), Ojai (Ojai Shakespeare Festival), Kern County (big park with lots of grass), San Francisco (San Francisco Fringe Festival), Burbank (The Falcon Theatre), Hailey Idaho (sponsored by Company of Fools at the Liberty Theatre) and Adelaide Australia (Adelaide Fringe Festival).
