About Bootleg Theater

BOOTLEG is situated in a dense Los Angeles neighborhood packed with people from countries all over the world. BOOTLEG will reflect that by producing work that is exciting to many different kinds of people, opening our Ramparts District building to the broadest possible cross section of LA artists who share our goals.

BOOTLEG, built as a bra factory in the 1930’s, became a warehouse theater in 2000. The ambition is to produce brave, boundary-pushing, artistically outstanding new work, work that is primarily made by Los Angeles theater and performance-based artists. BOOTLEG will also host out-of-town artists when appropriate.

Articles Mentioning Bootleg Theater

LA Band Spotlight: Chloe Chaidez of Kitten

Conversing with Chloe Chaidez, frontwoman of the LA-based rock band Kitten, about music feels like talking to Quentin Tarantino about movies. Every sentence is packed with musical references, every observation fully grounded upon the paleontological striations of music history.
Katy Goodman’s La Sera Makes a Stop at Bootleg Bar

Sparked by the wrong-doings of a man and fueled by a new-found love of song writing, Katy Goodman's solo project, La Sera, was born. If that name sounds familiar, it's because Goodman is also a favorite of Brooklyn band Vivian Girls.
