Founded in 2007, IAMA is a Los Angeles-based ensemble of artists committed to the creation
and cultivation of new voices and artists that challenge boundaries and take risks, while
fostering an inclusive community that inspires theater-makers of future generations. IAMA is
invested in the immediacy of production and strives to bring audiences out of their personal
space and into a shared authentic experience. Los Angeles is one of the most diverse
metropolitan areas in the world and IAMA's work reflects the new voices and changing attitudes
that continue to shape this city, state, country and world. Designated by Playbill as “one of 20
regional houses every theater lover must know,” the award-winning company has seen many
plays generated at IAMA travel to off-Broadway, including to Second Stage and Playwrights
Horizons, then go on to be performed regionally and internationally. IAMA members have been
featured in numerous critically acclaimed TV shows and films as well as in a vast array of
theater and live performances on and off-Broadway and across the country. IAMA has been
dedicated to developing new plays and musicals by emerging and established playwrights,
culminating in over 25 world, West Coast and Los Angeles premieres.
