The first production was Sam Shepard’s Angel City starring Ron Cambell. "Angel City" played to full houses until the Los Angeles Fire Marshal ordered the theatre capacity not to exceed seven persons. Since the cast had five, the final performance was for an audience of two: the legendary producer, of the CAST Theatres in Hollywood and his assistant. After the performance, Schmitt handed over the keys to the C.A.S.T/Safe Harbor on La Cienega Blvd., which was converted into the L.A.TEST Stage. "The Latest Stage's trademark is productions full of frolicking energy, like their adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac, which took place in an exciting pirate setting." (en)
