Welcome to Our Creative Home
We’re so glad you’re here.
We are a husband-and-wife team—partners in life since 1973 and collaborators in storytelling ever since. As actors, playwrights, and producers, we’ve spent decades bringing compelling characters and unforgettable stories to life across stage, screen, and everything in between.
Our journey has taken us from the rehearsal room to the writer’s desk, from independent sets to major productions. What remains constant is our shared belief in the power of storytelling to connect, inspire, and transform.
Whether you’re a fellow artist, a curious viewer, or a potential collaborator, we invite you to explore our world—past productions, upcoming projects, and the heart behind the work.
Thank you for joining us. The story continues…
Alan Blumenfeld and Katherine James
Romeo and Juliet: Love Knows No Age
Join us on Saturday, September 6 at 4 PM and 8 PM for the very first public readings of our age-reversed Romeo and Juliet!
This bold reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic is part of the Open Fist Theater Company’s 2025 First Look Festival. Conceived and directed by Christian Lebano, the production flips the familiar story on its head—Alan steps into the role of Romeo, and I take on Juliet.
We’re finding this concept both fascinating and moving, and we’d love for you to experience it with us. Come, watch, and share your thoughts as we explore a whole new lens on a play we all know so well!
Romeo and Juliet: Love Knows No Age
September 6th, 4 pm and 8 pm
Atwater Village Theatre
3269 Casitas Ave, LA, 90039
