SUMMARY:THE LION IN WINTER
DESCRIPTION:THE LION IN WINTER\nPlaying in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater\nMay 16 – June 13\, 2026\nBy James Goldman\nDirected by James Rice\nThis medieval drama is a modern day classic that tells the story of the Plantagenet royal family\, locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit a kingdom. The Queen\, Eleanor of Aquitaine\, has been kept in prison since raising an army with her sons against her husband\, King Henry II. Let out for the holidays\, the family descends into sibling rivalry\, adultery\, and desperate maneuvering for the throne. As Eleanor says\, “Every family has its ups and downs\,” in this intelligent show that bursts with astringent wit and a humor that bristles and burns. \n \nA Big THANK YOU to the Port of Long Beach for Sponsoring our Opening Night Gala! \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\n\nFriday\, May 15\,  2026\, 8pm – Half Price Preview\nSaturday\, May 16\, 2026\, 8pm – Opening Night and Champagne Gala\nFriday\, May 22\, 2026\, 8pm\nSaturday\, May 23\, 2026\, 8pm\nSunday\, May 24\, 2026\, 2pm\nFriday\, May 29\, 2026\, 8pm\nSaturday\, May 30\, 2026\, 8pm\nSunday\, May 31\, 2026\, 2pm\nFriday\, June 5\, 2026\, 8pm\nSaturday\, June 6\, 2026\, 8pm\nSunday\, June 7\, 2026\, 2pm\nFriday\, June 12\, 2026\, 8pm\nSaturday\, June 13\, 2026\, 8pm – Closing Night\n\nAGE LIMIT \nAs a courtesy to our patrons\, it is the policy of the theatre not to admit children under the age of 5.

SUMMARY:KIMBERLY AKIMBO
DESCRIPTION:KIMBERLY AKIMBO\nPlaying in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Studio Theater\nJune 6 – July 3\, 2026\nBy David Lindsay-Abaire\nDirected by Michael Hovance\nIn this zany\, warmhearted comedy play that inspired the recent Tony Award winning musical\, Kimberly is a lonely 16-year-old girl suffering from a disease that causes her to age at more than four times the normal rate. Feeling trapped inside the frail physical body of an elderly woman\, Kim meets Jeff\, another young misfit at school\, and an uncertain relationship develops between them. Soon her life goes “akimbo\,” contending with a hypochondriac mother\, a rarely sober father\, a scam-artist aunt\, her own mortality\, and most terrifying of all\, the possibility of first love. KIMBERLY AKIMBO is a shrewd and strangely affecting comedy that’s a bit of youthful happiness unlike any other. \n \nA Big THANK YOU to the Port of Long Beach for Sponsoring the 2026 Studio Season! \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\n\nFriday\, June 5\, 8pm – Preview\nSaturday\, June 6\, 8pm – Opening Night and Champagne Gala\nFriday\, June 12\, 8pm\nSaturday\, June 13\, 8pm\nSunday\, June 14\, 2pm\nFriday\, June 19\, 8pm\nSaturday\, June 20\, 8pm\nSunday\, June 21\, 2pm\nFriday\, June 26\, 8pm\nSaturday\, June 27\, 8pm\nSunday\, June 28\, 2pm\nThursday\, July 2\, 8pm – Special Thursday Night Show\nFriday\, July 3\, 8pm – Closing Night\n\nAGE LIMIT\nAs a courtesy to our patrons\, it is the policy of the theatre not to admit children under the age of 5.
