La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club | 814 followers on LinkedIn. 2018 Regional Theatre Tony Aware Recipient! Dedicated to the artist and all aspects of the theater. | La MaMa is dedicated to the artist and all aspects of the theatre. Ever since Ellen Stewart founded La MaMa in 1961, our interest has been in the people who make art, and it is to them that we give our support with free theater and rehearsal space, lights, sound, props, platforms, and whatever else we have that they can use to create their work. We want them to feel free to explore their ideas, and translate them into a theatrical language that can communicate to any person in any part of the world.
