ICAP Theatre Company

The International Classical Acting Project (ICAP) was an experimental company Elizabeth founded in 2005 consisting of forty international actors and directors dedicated to creating innovative, multilingual productions from classical material drawn from all over the world.
Operating out of an 84 seat theatre inside Park La Brea in Los Angeles, California, ICAP grew from a $10,000 yearly budget to an annual $30,000 budget within two years through ticket sales, benefits, international grants and donations.
We created exchanges with theatre festivals in Europe, traveling three times to Germany with our productions, and bringing two productions from Germany to our theatre in LA. The company folded in 2008 due to Elizabeth's move to Oregon although many of the members have continued to produce work together.
