Mission: Circle X Theatre Co. is a not-for-profit ensemble of artists dedicated to highly provocative, boldly theatrical productions of new and rarely-seen plays and the development of new works for the stage. We believe in imagination over budget, adrenaline over inertia, irreverence over convention and excellence over all. Company Membership & Auditions: You do not have to be a member of Circle X to audition for any of our productions. We post auditions on Backstage and Actors Access. We do not hold auditions for company membership. Membership to Circle X is earned through participation over time. Circle X members have committed significant time to the company on two different productions, as actors, backstage crew, designers, house managers, etc. Members get first-look casting and are told about all participation opportunities before the general public, do not receive guaranteed casting and do not pay dues. Members believe in the work we do, want to be a part of it, and view Circle X as their artistic home. If you are interested in becoming a member, please email camille.schenkkan-at-gmail.com.	Circle X produces out of Atwater Village Theatre, a multi-disciplinary performance facility shared with Ensemble Studio Theatre-LA in the Atwater Village neighborhood of northeastern Los Angeles. AVT is located at 3269 Casitas Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90039. Circle X was founded in early 1996 by seven artists drawn together by a common desire to create an artistic home in Los Angeles. Our emphasis on innovation goes beyond our selection of thought-provoking, highly theatrical plays. It extends into everything from design, performance and direction to administration and marketing, creating the unique aesthetic for which Circle X is known. Click here for the history of our logo!

WORLD PREMIERE:
Naked Before God by Leo Geter
Presented by Circle X Theatre Company at [Inside] the Ford
MAR 24 - APR 28, 2012

Naked Before God romps across the intersection of physical farce and dark comedy. Written and directed by Leo Geter, this world premiere play is inspired by the works of Joe Orton, David Rabe and Neil Simon. Its cast of American dreamers know they can be whoever they want to be. The problem is, they have to be themselves in order to get there.

Kristen, a struggling single mom, has hit upon a brilliant idea to transform the sins of her youth into lots of cash. All she has to do is convince her family to play along. Meanwhile, her live-in son has landed his first big job and plans to move his pregnant wife to Hawaii. When the one person Kristen didn't count on shows up on a dangerous overseas mission, schemes collide, threatening to keep her from selling a past she doesn't completely own.
