Los Angeles-based classical theatre company

The Porters of Hellsgate Theatre Co. is a Los Angeles–based classical theatre company that was founded in 2006 by Edward Castuera, Jack Leahy and Charles Pasternak.[1] It is a member organization of the LA Stage Alliance.[2] The Porters are working their way through the works of Shakespeare, with the goal of becoming the first theatre company in the city of Los Angeles to perform the entire Shakespearean canon.
