History:
The original Lizard Theater was founded in 1993, by Playwright and Theater Creative Director, Jay Parker. Eventually, the theater would open in a small studio in the theater of world dance in the downtown Alhambra area. Over the course of 5 years there, the Lizard grew its talent pool and showcased premiere original works and revivals of classics.
In 2011, The Lizard moved to a state-of-the-art facility in the heart of dowtown Alhambra's Mosaic District and hence, the Lizard now became the Mosaic Lizard Theater. Theater professionals have commented the Mosaic Lizard Theater is truly the nicest little theater in Los Angeles. The theater is playing to sold out audiences and getting critical praise from media like the LA Weekly, The Pasadena Star News, and SoCal.com.
Improvisation and sketch comedy have been a big part of Lizard Theater since it's inception in 1993. Mosaic Lizard Theater continues this tradition with hilarious and original sketch comedy shows that run between major main stage productions.
