We, Adam Hunter, Andrew Gilbert, Brad Culver, Cat Ventura Ahmanson, Efren Delgadillo, Jesse Bonnell, Jesse Saler, Itamar Stern, Jessica Emmanuel, Jonney Ahmanson, and John Kern are Poor Dog Group. We are a group of twelve Los Angeles-based artists with various professional backgrounds in the performing arts. As a group we conceptualize, create and sometimes perform our works collectively. The works can happen in different constellations of the group, while other artists and friends will join in to specific projects. From this practice, the outcomes can be stage works, installations, videos, workshops or lectures.

We create works of new theater through a collaborative process, that can span several years in development. Throughout this process we incorporate members of our community to participate in the crafting of the work through public showings and feedback. Over the past decade we have launched various outreach programs and on going series of public encounters. As a non profit we also offer fiscal sponsorship and mentorship to emerging Los Angeles based artists.
