Founders Scott Jay and Brian C. Weed met while performing “Julius Caesar” at Glendale’s A Noise Within Classical Theatre Company and quickly realized a need for quality contemporary theatre in Los Angeles. Danielle Taddei was brought on board, and soon after Because It's There was born - a theatre that would entertain, inform and educate, as well as inspire thought and spark debate.

Early on, it was decided Because It’s There would be called a Theatre Collaboration rather than a Company. This simple innovation created a unique foundation that is inherent in every production Because It’s There undertakes: All artists involved have an equal voice in how a piece is to be presented. We foster an environment where everyone is encouraged and expected to share ideas and opinions on all aspects of a play, not just in their particular roles.

Our productions are truly a collaboration of artists, with a main focus on story and an emphasis on substance.

The goal of B.I.T. is to respect our audience. They come to be entertained, enlightened, informed, moved, delighted and astonished. We intend to bring all this and more to you in our productions of powerful contemporary plays and groundbreaking new works. Our mission is to produce theatre that explores the human condition and deals with universal social and political issues. We seek to create, educate and entertain through collaboration and outreach, becoming a permanent fixture within our community.

Because It's There Theatre Collaboration is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Corporation.
