The Attic Theatre Conservatory, Inc. is a California non-profit corporation formed in 1995 to establish an ensemble acting company based on excellence, to help develop new plays and voices for the theatre, and use live theatre as an educational tool to develop new audiences. To those ends, the Conservatory sponsors the Attic Theatre Ensemble now in its 20th year and a national playwrighting contest for new one-act plays, The One Act Marathon, now in its 15th season. Also the Conservatory offers classes and workshops year round to develop those new artistic voices and plays, such as our Developmental Workshop that has help develop 4 produced plays and screenplays for two short films. In 2003 a film division was added to screen and produce short films thus inaugurating The Attic Theatre and Film center at its current 25 Washington Blvd. location.
