A Noise Within was founded in 1991. After eight successful years in Glendale, the company was invited to set up shop at Cal State, making it the nation's only classical repertory company based on a university campus.

A Noise Within also sponsors a Student Outreach Program which brings more than 12,000 young people to the theatre each year, ongoing Conservatory Classics and Summer With Shakespeare programs. In addition, the company sends touring productions throughout California.
