Guards at the Taj by Rajiv Joseph

Set centuries ago, yet piercingly relevant today, Guards at the Taj follows two low-ranking imperial guards stationed outside the Taj Mahal before its grand unveiling. An impossible task will test their lifelong friendship, shake their faith, and shatter their lives forever. This darkly funny and deeply moving play asks us: follow duty or follow beauty?

Our mission is to invite Los Angeles’ diverse community to feel the pulse of live theatre during a moment of widespread disconnection. While the entertainment industry restructures, LA’s independent theater scene could become the city’s creative heartbeat. We want our audience to experience art in an intimate setting, where their reactions and experience will be shared in real time with others.

We are an independent, community-driven production. Beyond performances, we're planning a full month of post-show discussions, collaborations and affiliate nights throughout February, all exploring the play's thought-provoking themes as they resonate with today’s cultural and social landscape.
