Darren Aronofsky‘s Protozoa Pictures and Los Angeles Media Fund are launching a
joint venture focused on commissioning and producing new live theater projects
as well as co-producing and supporting larger productions.
The LAMF/Protozoa Theater Fund venture solidifies and extends a partnership that
has already landed on Broadway as a co-producer of last season’s Tony-nominated
revival of Lorraine Hansberry’s The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, starring
Oscar Isaac, Rachel Brosnahan, and Tony-winner Miriam Silverman.

The Fund today announced the recipients of its first three commissions: James
Ijames, Pulitzer Prize winner and Tony nominee for Fat Ham; Sylvia Khoury,
Pulitzer Prize finalist for Selling Kabul; and Sarah Einspanier, author of the
critically lauded Off Broadway hit Lunch Bunch.
Protozoa’s Brendan Naylor and LAMF’s Luke Rodgers will oversee the Fund’s
day-to-day operations.
“I have been thrilled, surprised and inspired countless times by New York’s
stages,” said Aronofsky in a statement. “Many of my favorite screenwriters honed
their craft in the theater, so it’s very exciting to be partnering with some of
today’s most daring playwrights.”

Jeffrey Soros, CEO of Los Angeles Media Fund, said, “At this moment, as theater
surges back, I am truly inspired by the ambition and excellence of the current
generation of voices working in theater as exemplified by James, Sylvia, and
Sarah. Based on our fruitful experiences with Protozoa in other media, I can’t
think of a better partner in this endeavor.”
Aronofsky’s Protozoa Pictures has a history of collaborations with theatrical
talent, most recently with its 2022 film production of Samuel D. Hunter’s play
The Whale, which the playwright adapted for Aronofsky to direct (Brendan Fraser
starred in an Oscar-winning performance). Protozoa also produced the TV series
Kindred for FX, which Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (Pulitzer finalist for his play An
Octoroon) adapted from Octavia Butler’s acclaimed novel.
Los Angeles Media Fund was a producer of Daniel Fish’s Tony-winning 2019
Broadway revival of Oklahoma!, and served the same capacity for the revival’s
Off Broadway debut, the US National Tour, and productions at London’s Young Vic
and on the West End (latter won the Olivier for Best Musical Revival). LAMF most
recently co-produced the Olivier-winning West End revival of A Streetcar Named
Desire starring Paul Mescal and Anjana Vasan and Jamie Lloyd’s Tony-nominated
Broadway revival of A Doll’s House starring Jessica Chastain and Arian Moayed,
LAMF also produced DiscOasis NYC in 2022 with Nile Rodgers and LiveNation, an
open-air, immersive roller disco experience in Central Park’s Wollman Rink, and
is currently producing the Magic Mike Live North American Tour and Crazy For You
on the West End.
Aronofsky most recently directed Postcard From Earth, the first film produced
for The Sphere in Las Vegas. The film features 18K footage and is screened
inside the 17,000-seat space that boasts the largest high-definition screen in
the world.
