SUMMARY:THE HUMORIST MARK TWAIN

Due to the age of our building\, there is no elevator and the theater is only accessible by stairs. \n \nDescription: \nThe Humorist Mark Twain offers a mirror to human nature – one that repeats patterns throughout history. Twain’s words\, written 140-165 years ago\, easily apply to today’s issues of government\, racism\, religion\, and the human condition. In this one-person performance\, Haven draws from Mark Twain’s books\, journals\, lectures\, and essays to create sharp social commentary with comedic and critical storytelling. The goal is simple: to promote deep introspection; sometimes with wit and humor\, others with pathos and empathy. \nCompany Statement:\nHaven Productions is dedicated to igniting and sustaining a deep curiosity in theater as a transformative art form. We believe the stage is more than entertainment: It is a powerful lens through which truth is revealed\, and the complexities of the human condition are explored. Through bold storytelling\, thought-provoking performances\, and a commitment to artistic excellence\, Haven Productions strives to create experiences that inspires reflection\, sparks dialogue\, and connects audiences to the universal themes that shape our lives. \nThe LBP Studio Collaborative Season offers outside\, local theatre companies and performing arts organizations the opportunity to produce their own shows in our Studio Theater.

Due to the age of our building\, there is no elevator and the theater is only accessible by stairs. \n  \nDescription of the Festival: \nThis annual festival nurtures emerging and established playwrights to develop new scripts. Reading 100+ scripts a year\, the New Works Literary Committee chooses two top plays to receive a stage reading with critical feedback from professional theatre critics and an audience talk back. \nAbout the Shows:\nAS WE LIKE IT follows the story of a woman named Rose\, who tries to motivate her family to rehearse in the serenity and privacy of the woods a production of Shakespeare’s As You Like It to be performed at the wedding of the Duke and his betrothed\, the Fairy Queen. The only problem is there is no Fairy Queen. There is no Duke. They are not in a serene forest. This Midsummer Night’s / As You Like It delusion is Rose’s shield against a brutal reality she doesn’t wish to confront — she and her family are in hiding from the Nazis in the grim forests of Poland during World War 2. Her theatrical fantasy is a shield against unbearable reality\, but her family fears her delusion may get them killed. The play explores the danger and necessity of self-made fictions and asks when stories protect us and when they put everything at risk. \nWritten Oded Gross \nWOLVES AT THE DOOR follows Grace and Gavin\, who lost their daughter\, Lucy\, to gun violence. The gunman committed a mass shooting in an ‘incel’ styled revenge plot. Lucy\, at a dance class nearby\, was collateral damage. While grieving\, Grace is bombarded by a stream of visitors\, all who seem to want to exploit her in some manner. Meanwhile\, she and Gavin grapple with their own relationship woes\, as one of them wants to heal and one isn’t ready to move on. The play flips back and forth from the past where we see what set the shooter on his path\, and the present where Grace tries to come to terms with the aftermath. \nWritten by Ali MacLean \nFREE TICKETS TO THE NEW WORKS FESTIVAL 2026 ARE MADE POSSIBLE BY A GENEROUS SPONSORSHIP FROM THE PORT OF LONG BEACH.
