Our history
1970 – 2019 – Founded by impresario Richard Sheldon, Opera A La Carte began as a dinner theatre ensemble. Specializing in the works of Gilbert & Sullivan, the group began touring the country. For nearly 40 years OALC performed in nearly every state in the United States.
2019 – 2023. Due the financial instability of the theatre touring model, the company went dormant. It retained its board of directors and non-profit status.
2024 to present – A new team began to assemble, inspired to develop new works outside the G&S canon. They rebooted the vision and began operations as Arts A La Carte. With its new scope, the company is joyously participating in works old and new, with a nod to its past and open arms towards its future.
