About Producing The District from the Founder:
Welcome to Producing the District and other adventures!
I'm Don Michael Mendoza - or Don Mike for short - and I am a producer.
Being the creator and curator of the La-Ti-Do cabaret series in Washington, DC and New York City is my so-called "claim to fame," and I've been lucky enough to get involved in all sorts of other events and productions along the way, but people are always curious about how I manage it all and seek advice.
So starting on March 1, 2016... here it is.
I've created this blog to chronicle my La-Ti-Do journey along with all the other unique projects I'm involved with so YOU can come along for the ride.
Originally from Pittsburgh, Don Michael Mendoza received his B.A. in Musical Theatre from American University. He performs in productions throughout the Washington Metropolitan Area, but found his main calling as a producer.
In January 2012, Don Michael co-founded La-Ti-Do and currently serves as its Executive Artistic Director. La-Ti-Do is DC's only critically acclaimed musical theatre cabaret and spoken word series to serve the artistic community on a weekly basis, tours to New York City on a monthly basis and soon to Los Angeles by the end of 2016.
After four years, he's collaborated and worked with numerous organizations in the nation's capital and beyond including The Kennedy Center, Arena Stage, Feinstein's/54 Below, Miss District of Columbia, Signature Theatre, Shakespeare Theatre Company, Studio Theatre, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, Theatre J, Busboys & Poets, Split This Rock and many others.
