Foster Cat Productions

Our Mission

To shine a light on lesser known works by great artists. We consider ourselves a museum of plays, unearthing hidden gems that audiences might never have seen. At the same time we are a punk rock theatre where we care less about spectacle and costuming, and while we certainly will look pretty if we need to, our main goal is to join audience and actors together in a discovery of plays that you never knew existed!

Most Recently…

Academy Award-winning producer Jonathan Sanger teamed up with us to bring back Stephen Sondheim’s Putting It Together, after a successful run in October. It returned as a musical benefit for Best Friends Animal Society in December 2024. Co-presenting is also Broadway and film producer Jan McAdoo (Netflix’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 and The Roommate on Broadway).

Plays and Musicals

Most recently, we debuted a world premiere translation of Desire Caught by the Tail by Pablo Picasso, translation by France-based artist Milena Karpukhina. We paired it with a play by Will Eno, who was called by the New York Times “Beckett for the Jon Stewart generation.”

Elaine May and Alan Arkin’s Power Plays ran completely sold-out at the Groundlings this Summer. These plays starred 5x Emmy Winner and 17x nominee Gerald Quist (TV: Westworld, Star Trek: TNG, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Movies: Tropic Thunder, The Sixth Sense, Drive), and also starred founding member of the Groundlings, Phyllis Katz.

Our collection of plays by Academy Award-winning filmmaker ETHAN COEN played in Hollywood in the Fall of 2023 was mentioned in the LA Times and was so popular we revived it along with plays by Shel Silverstein and Wendy Wasserstein as a part of our Festival of Jewish Playwrights. Acting in these plays alongside us was Sarah Natochenny, legendary and prolific voiceover who most famously lent her voice to Ash Ketchum in the hit animated movies and TV series, Pokemon.
