the History of Lucid by Proxy
In the year 2000 (the year two thousaaaaaaand...), a group of friends, friends of friends, and friends of friends' friends, came together as the producing company "Primal Elements,*" in 3 weeks produced two original one-act plays (SAP, boy meets tree by Rick Robinson & Something Persists by Valerie Rachelle) as part of the 2000 LA EdgeFest, and garnered a Backstage West "Critic's Pick" for their efforts. Since then, we've continued to develop and produce original plays -- at least one per year, with some years seeing as many as three (!) completely new works.
Lucid by Proxy owes much to the Los Angeles Edge of the World Festival, which gave us a platform from which to jump into the theater production world. In 2004, we received our official not-for-profit status.
Our Mission
Lucid by Proxy is committed to the development of new, original theater and new theater artsists, and to raising the profile of theater (and all other) arts in the Los Angeles community. To that end, we produce unpublished, original work, primarily shows which have not had a prior professional production, and encourage other artistic pursuits in the community. Our work spans across many genres, and we have introduced a good share of new playwrights, directors and actors to the Los Angeles area.
The Company
The artistic directorship of LbP falls to our dedicated production staff: producers Shannon Nelson, David Nett, Valerie Rachelle, Rick Robinson, Jeanette Scherrer and James Xavier, and associate producer Patty Ramsey.

Special Projects
Solo Artist Project
Developing solo performance projects, or "one person plays" is a difficult but rewarding process for many artists. Part of the process of developing these performance pieces is getting them in front of a live audience in a theater setting. Unfortunately, because performance space rental is expensive, and workshops seldom provide much return in the form of ticket sales, many solo projects never see an audience, or complete their development cycle.
Lucid by Proxy offers performance opportunities as "late night" productions after our regular shows to solo artists. So far, we've been honored to provide performance space, rehearsal space and light production support to three solo performances:
