In an off the canyon-walls funny comedy\, the stalwartness\, the selfishness\, the cockiness\, and the cluelessness of this crew of insane yet loyal adventurers drips with satire as some of the roles are gender swapped.  This is a rollicking adventure that turns the American myth of man-ifest destiny on end and challenges the notion of who gets to make history with respect to its bold if fallible pioneers. \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\nTHIS PRODUCTION CLOSED ON MAY 25\, 2024 \nLBP’s Opening Night Gala for MEN ON BOATS is sponsored by the Port of Long Beach!

LOOT is Joe Orton’s masterpiece of dark comedy where we follow the fortunes of two young thieves – Dennis\, an undertaker at the funeral parlour\, and Hal\, his sometime lover\, whose Mum just died. When Inspector Truscott turns up\, they need a place to hide the loot.  But with the money in Mum’s coffin\, there’s no place for Mum\, whose body keeps reappearing at the most inopportune times. Aided and abetted by Mum’s former nurse\, Fay\, and trying to put one over on Hal’s gullible father\, the duo prove that nothing is sacred in a farce that seethes with black\, baleful mirth. \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\nTHIS PRODUCTION CLOSED JULY 6\, 2024 \nLBP’s Opening Night Gala for LOOT is sponsored by the Port of Long Beach!

Cruz\nHedwig Schmidt wants her due. After having to change who she was to leave East Germany with an American GI who promises to take her to the states if she changes her sex\, Hedwig is left in a Kansas trailer park with regret\, a bad operation\, and what she calls an “Angry Inch.” She turns to music and meets a geeky boy named Tommy whom she falls for.  But he ends up stealing her songs and achieving rock star fame.  What’s to be done but to become a rock goddess herself!  This Tony and Obie award-winning show is part rock concert\, part stand-up routine\, and part exploration into what it means to be loved; not only by others\, but by yourself.   \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nNOTE: This Production featured two different casts performing on different weekends.
