Unusual Suspects

Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, The Unusual Suspects Theatre Company is a nonprofit arts organization that capitalizes on the power of storytelling as a vehicle for social empowerment. Providing free access to dozens of youth theatre residencies focused on the creation and performance of original plays; The Unusual Suspects has evolved from a local program serving roughly 50 participants in Van Nuys in 1993 into a robust program that served over 3,500 youth in over 20 communities of Los Angeles in 2023 alone.
