SUMMARY:BEN HUR
DESCRIPTION:BEN HUR\nBy Patrick Barlow\nPlaying in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater\nFeb. 24 – Mar. 23\, 2024\nDirected by Gregory Cohen\nFrom the playwright who brought us the hilarious The 39 Steps\, comes BEN HUR\, the epic tale based on one of the best-selling books of the nineteenth century\, now told with only four actors! The story follows an amateur theatre troupe as they attempt to produce the massive tale of the fictional Jewish prince\, Judah Ben-Hur\, complete with chariot race\, sea battle\, stage combat\, and actors struggling with professional rivalries and offstage romances.  In a comedy event bound to be packed with intentional and unintentional laughs\, can this plucky band of thespians retell one of the largest stories ever told? \nBUY TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE A DATE:\nTHIS PRODUCTION CLOSED ON MARCH 23\, 2024. \nCOVID Patron Safety Protocol\n\nAt the present time\, masks are not required to be worn in any of our theater spaces unless patrons  are showing symptoms of illness and excessively coughing and/or sneezing.\nMasks are available for any patron or volunteer who would like or need one.\n\nAGE LIMITAs a courtesy to our patrons\, it is the policy of the theatre not to admit children under the age of 5.
