Who We Are
Bimbos Theatre Co. LLC is a Los Angeles-based student-led organization created by students at UCLA for artists with the mission to highlight and empower women's stories. Our goal is to promote the representation of female-identifying people in theatre, and create safe spaces for female creatives to explore their craft. Additionally, we are committed to philanthropy that gives back to causes benefitting women's welfare in the L.A. community and other national charitable organizations. We are also committed to the growth of our company with the intention of being able to better support both students and professionals. Our hope is that all of our artists can have the agency to be leaders in supportive creative environments, and we will continue to produce work that aligns with our vision and uplifts others.
Our Team

Co-Founder

She is most proud of her work in Happy Birthday, Mars Rover with UCLA Theater. Kaity recently graduated from the Acting Shakespeare course at RADA in London. She felt inspired to create Bimbos Theatre Co.
