History
International City Theatre, founded by Shashin Desai in a 99-seat black box theatre on the campus of Long Beach City College, grew to become the official resident theatre of the City of Long Beach CA. The theatre moved into its 862-seat semi-thrust auditorium at the Long Beach Performing Arts Center in 1988, phasing in at first with some shows in the larger space and some in the original. Desai's wife and longtime general manager Caryn Morse Desai assumed the post of artistic director when Shashin retired in 2011.
