The Antaeus Company and Academy are located at the Deaf West Theater on Lankershim and Otsego. It is a classical theater ensemble and school made up of actors, directors and producers who are all lovers of classical theater works. What started out in 1991 with just 36 actors is now a premier theater company in the heart of the NoHo Arts District with over 100 actors and directors who produce new classical theater pieces every year. In tandem, actors from all over come here to study and fine-tune their classical acting skills and add to their repertoire. Bringing their love of theater into local High School classroom has also been a cornerstone of its mission as a theater arts company. Its outreach programs have brought ensemble members into schools for close to 20 years now
