Scripted
Outside In is dedicated to uplifting theatrical stories that reflect the world we come from, we currently live in and we aspire to create in the future. We support new plays by diverse artists that enlighten our existence and connect us to our communities. Through development we bring the seed of an idea to bloom into a production. We are interested in the process and strive to build brave spaces with resources that will nurture artists to take risks and reach farther than they ever have. We know that we are a step in the journey of a play, a launching pad to the next stop as we give these stories to Los Angeles and the world.

Created by Jami Brandli

What happens when the life you built suddenly collapses?Reimagining The Odyssey through a modern lens, O: A Rhapsody in Divorce follows O, a successful neurobiologist in her 40s whose world is turned upside down when her husband asks for a separation, but refuses to leave their home. Displaced and untethered, O embarks on a couch-hopping journey that blends memory, science, and surreal theatricality. She discovers unconventional and magical ways to reassemble the blown-up pieces of her life as she struggles to navigate her way back toward a “new home.”
In Community
Outside In Theatre thrives on collaboration and shared inspiration. Beyond our in-house productions, we hold space and celebrate a diverse community of artists—students, teachers, actors, improvisers, directors, designers, producers, and filmmakers—who enrich and strengthen our artistic ecosystem.
