About Us
Luna Playhouse is part of Community & Arts Projects & Services (C.A.P.S.) - a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) organization.
C.A.P.S. was formed to bring under an umbrella organization a series of cultural and community activities that the original participants of Armenian Theatre Company felt necessary in order to enable the public to have a greater appreciation of the arts and culture in general and the theatre in particular. Public Access Television (under the name Lightwell TV), Publications (Haikazian Publications), Translations, Community Gatherings, Public Readings and Cultural and Political Debates, etc. are the means alongside theatre productions- through which c.a.p.s. contributes to the enlightenment and progress of its members and audiences.
Armenian Theatre Company was originally formed in London, UK and then moved to California in 1990.
The space used for Luna Playhouse was rented in February 2006, and having completed all the code requirements of the city and state (Glendale, California), the theatre officially opened in September 2006. By the end of that year, SEVEN presentations were staged: two full play productions, one comedy show, An Evening with Charles Dickens, One Children's play in Armenian and one in English, and a Christmas Show. In the first year of operations 26 different productions have been presented over 160 evenings/days, making Luna Playhouse a most active theatre and Performance Arts Center.
