LOBBY HERO

LOBBY HERO

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.
