Membership
The $4.50 Theater Company (Japanese: 劇団4ドル50セント, Hepburn: Gekidan Yondoru Gojussento) is a Japanese theater company[1] established in 2017 by two Japanese producers Yasushi Akimoto and Max Matsuura of Avex.[2] It is operated by Avex AY Factory, LLC, a subsidiary of Avex.[3]
History
The name of the company was taken from the total amount of coins Janis Joplin, of whom producer Yasushi Akimoto is a fan, was holding in her hand when she died.[2] The company started with 31 members, selected through auditions attended by approximately 5,000 people.[4] Ninety percent of the selected members had no acting experience at all.[4] Despite being a theater company, its members also perform various other activities such as modeling, participating in television shows, and music.[4]
On October 30, 2017, the company announced that its members would appear in the advertisement for the PlayStation 4 version of Call of Duty: WWII.[5]
