About Me


“Literary history swarms with accounts of fragile psyches undone by love, and Lucia Mad undoes with the best of them....Lucia Mad announces a company well worth watching.”
David C. Nichols, Los Angeles Times

“This charismatic company continues to mature. Venue-less like Wandering Dutchmen. . .they’re branding themselves as a must-see experience of what live theatre can do: entertain you in umpteen iterations as they continue to reinvent themselves in new, startling, and delightful ways.”
James Scarborough, Grunion Gazette
“Judging by the chemistry of this galvanized group, along with their professionalism and talent, I predict a rash of breakout stars emerging from this group, as well as a thriving future for the company. . .Alive Theatre Company has the potential to be Long Beach’s Steppenwolf (Chicago) or Actors Gang (LA).”
