The Dirty Thirteen begins the culmination of the MFA program this fall. Our rigorous training will be displayed in a three play rep.

Dear Kickstarter family and friends,

Your love, commitment and donations have been an overwhelming blessing. We thank you from the bottoms of our hearts for your support. We regret to inform you that the USC School of Dramatic Arts has changed their policy to no longer allow public fundraising.  This has caused us to extinguish our fund raising efforts through Kickstarter. When our Kickstarter campaign is taken down you will not be charged the amount you generously pledged.

Do not despair, you can still find a way to support our work by contacting us at dirty13ensemble@gmail.com.

We cannot thank you enough for your dedication to our efforts and we look forward to seeing you at the Rep!

Gratefully,

The USC MFA Class of 2013


Twelve actors, three plays, one ensemble. 24 performances over five weeks, from February 9 to March 10, 2013.

Why give to our cause? Because for the last two years the 12 of us have dared to brave these stages. Standing above the sweat-stained floors of the USC School of Dramatic Arts, we have given ourselves mercilessly to the art, challenging ourselves to become greater than the individual, and pouring out our lifeblood for a chance to dream. In our third and final year of training we perform three plays in repertory that we cannot make fully live and breath without your help. We need to promote these three plays and open our performances to communities that may have never seen a play on the USC campus or elsewhere. 

Your support would enable us to:
- Buy seats for school and senior citizen groups

- Host nights with special topic talk-backs

- Make our presence known in the Los Angeles theater scene

- Reach out to deaf and blind communities with signed and audio described performances

Our goal is to fill every seat at every show.  Nobody will be turned away from this theatrical experience due to lack of funds.  Please support us in our final endeavor as the USC MFA Class of 2013.
