ABOUT US
We noticed there was a lot of talent in LA but live theater events were, for the most part, lacking. After many nights of saying, “I wish there were more places like they have in New York,” we decided to do something about it. And that’s how Diamond Dog Entertainment was formed. But we didn’t want to be just another production company in Los Angeles. Our priority was to build a world where the audience felt included in the experience, whether that be on stage, in a film, or even a great event. Covid-19 has changed every aspect of all our lives, but has also forced us at DDE to be even more imaginative and yet, extremely practical at the same time. Having spent so many years being a part of the industry, we are excited to collaborate with like-minded creatives to bring in the next generation of entertainment.

Told via recordings of Dana herself and brought to life on stage by the cast sheds light on the charm of psychopathy that can often be so difficult to understand. The production ran at the Lyceum Theatre in Fall 2021. Diamond Dog is proud to be producer on this harrowing story, directed by Les Waters and starring Deirdre O’Connell.
The production ultimately went on to win TWO Tony Awards! An enormous congratulations to Deirdre O’Connell for her win for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play and Mikhail Fiksel on his win for Best Sound Design!
What An Amazing Halloween 2021!
Big thank you to everyone who spent their haunting Halloween with Diamond Dog! Horror Camp was nothing short of spectacular -- the cast! the music! the costuming! What an exciting way to kick off our productions.
Mama G's Halloween Happenings wrapped each evening with a can't miss Ultimate Halloween Party! Drag superstars like Shangela, Salina Estitties, and Eureka murdered that stage. The spook-tivities wouldn't be complete without music from Flashback Heart Attack, DJ Rhea Litre, and DJ Penny Wild. We also had an ICON in the building... Deborah Cox had an electric performance fit for a star!
Finally, thanks to the Bourbon Room for hosting us and serving many (many) beverages each night!
Who's ready for Halloween 2022?!??
