About the Noho Arts District

The NoHo Arts District is home to more than 20 theatres, diverse art galleries, public art, professional dance studios, music recording venues west of the Mississippi, annual festivals, international dining options and a myriad of clothing and specialty shops. NoHo is "Where the Arts Are Made."

NoHo is L.A.’s theatre and arts community, for the artist as well as the arts lover. In 1992, the City of Los Angeles created the NoHo Arts District in North Hollywood to promote the natural concentration of artists and to create an economic engine fueled by the arts.

Additionally, the company was awarded the 1998 Drama Critics Circle's prestigious Margaret Harford Award for Sustained Excellence in Theatre 2003 Back Stage West Landmark Award for Sustained Excellence in Theatre.Dedication to presenting new works performed with consistently talented casts and outstanding production values have become synonymous with Road Theatre Company productions. "The Road Theatre Company ... is fast becoming one of the finest venues for the newest and best American dramas." ... says NoHo News. The Roads commitment to producing and developing new works has led to a play being published and four plays develop into film projects.Out of the plays that The Road has produced, The Chisholm Trail Went Through Here will be published soon; Vig was developed into a TV movie for Showtime; My Last Confession is in development for a television series; In the Name of the People was developed into a movie of the week which premiered in January 2000; and, Visas and Virtue, won the Academy Award in 1998 for Best Live Action Short.In addition to producing exciting and thought-provoking theatre, the company is the administrating organization for the Lankershim Arts Center, a community arts center that provides over 60 hours of arts programming per week at a low cost to the community. Located in the heart of the NoHo Arts District, the company has provided numerous community outreach programs forging strong links to the community and creating valuable new audiences for the theatre.
