Meet The Cast Of CRAZYTOWN A New Diversity Showcase From Studio For Performing Arts Los Angeles

Studio For Performing Arts Los Angeles will present a special live performance of Crazytown by Jonathan Rand on Saturday, May 17 at 3:00pm at Upstairs at El Centro Theatre, followed by an exclusive LA Creatives Industry Mixer.

This production is part of the studio’s celebrated Diversity Scholarship Program, which offers actors complimentary performance training, casting access, and visibility through curated showcases in Hollywood.

The performance, co-directed by Walid Chaya and Jon Taylor, features a dynamic cast of emerging talent selected from a large pool of applicants. These rising stars were awarded full scholarships to participate in the program, which includes acting classes Los Angeles for beginners and advanced students alike, along with access to casting directors workshops Los Angeles actors rely on for career breakthroughs, plus curated sessions with acting agents and top-tier industry mentors.

Crazytown, a satirical one-act comedy by Jonathan Rand, brings to life a fictional town where everyday situations quickly unravel into hilariously heightened chaos — from an off-the-rails school debate to a police interrogation that goes spectacularly sideways. The fast-paced, comedic format provides an ideal platform for performers to showcase their range and comedic timing, and the production is presented by special arrangement with the playwright.
