Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Studio Theater
July 19 – Aug. 16, 2025
By Kenneth Lonergan
Directed by Carl DaSilva
In Kenneth Lonergan’s brilliant comedic drama, LOBBY HERO, we met Jeff, the luckless young security guard in the lobby of a New York apartment building. Berated by his tightly wound supervisor William, clueless in the presence of local hero cop Bill, and hopeless in the presence of Bill’s attractive rookie partner, Dawn, Jeff can’t help but say the wrong thing at the wrong time. But when everyone is drawn into a local murder investigation, truth becomes elusive and justice proves costly in this irrepressible show that demonstrates the unintended consequences of good intentions.
PLEASE NOTE: The Studio Theater is on the 2nd Floor. Due to the age of our building, there is no elevator and the theater is only accessible by stairs.
