Little Fish Theatre Announces New 2017 Season Dates After Flooding

Little Fish Theatre has announced new dates for the remainder of the company's 2017 Season.

Due to this winter's record rainstorms, the theatre was forced to go dark in order to complete emergency electrical repairs.

As a result, the original performance schedule was reconfigured. Quartet was moved to the 2018 Season lineup, but all other productions will see the light of day in this calendar year.

Heavy rains have damaged the building's aged electrical system to the point where Little Fish Theatre has been completely shut down since the end of February while the massive and expensive electrical upgrade demanded by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power takes place. The theatre has started an Electrical Fund to help pay for the $27,700 upgrade and invited ticket holders to move to a new date or donate back their cancelled tickets to help recoup some of the lost revenue due to postponement. The repair work is on schedule to be completed in time for an April 21 re-opening.

Since 2002, Little Fish Theatre has been creating quality, award-winning theatre in an intimate converted tow yard venue, enlisting a mix of professionals, emerging artists, and devout volunteers. Having made due with small budgets and part time contractors to keep the doors open, the theatre now depends on these improvements to keep the doors open. LFT is the longest continually-operating, live theatre in the Harbor Area.
