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.
