CASA 0101 was founded by Josefina Lopez, author of Real Women Have Curves, in 2000 to fulfill her vision of bringing art and live theater programs to Boyle Heights. From its humble beginnings in a former tiny bridal shop, CASA 0101 now has two theater facilities and has established itself as a leading arts venue for Los Angeles' East Side, currently offering year round theatrical productions and classes in dramatic writing and acting to youth and adults.
PIE Story Theatre has been the critically acclaimed educational arm of All Seasons Theatre Company, founded by Patrick Riviere, and has reached thousands of children and families in the New York City Tri-State area and Chicago, Illinois. Casa 0101 will add PIE to its educational and outreach program.
