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!

Due to the age of our building\, there is no elevator and the theater is only accessible by stairs. \n  \nDescription of the Festival: \nThe 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:\nTHE ONE GOOD THING OR “ARE YOU PATRICK SWAYZE?” – Brothers Jamie and Tommy share a remote farmhouse on the cliffs of the Irish Sea. One morning Jamie makes an astonishing declaration. He announces that he is dead – and now a ghost. Tommy\, naturally\, is unconvinced\, maintaining that his brother’s delusion is caused by the grief Jamie has suffered since their mother’s death. Through humor and pathos\, the play explores themes of love\, loss\, and redemption\, culminating in the discovery that the eternal exists in their fraternal bond. The One Good Thing… should fuel speculation about what is real and what is imaginary. However\, ultimately\, it should touch the heart. \nWritten by Joe Bravaco \nJUDGEMENT OF THE EYE – Han Van Meegeren\, a struggling Dutch artist\, realizes his skill is forgeries and sell millions of dollars of fake art. When Germany invades\, the SS compel him to sell paintings to Goering\, and he makes millions more. At the end of the war\, he is accused of selling national treasure to the enemy and is to be executed. He claims the paintings are fakes and to prove it he will paint another. His story exposes the contradictions of how we perceive and value art\, in a tale so absurd\, and with a character so flawed\, it can only be true. \nWritten by Simon Bowler \nFREE TICKETS TO THE NEW WORKS FESTIVAL 2025 ARE MADE POSSIBLE BY A GENEROUS SPONSORSHIP FROM THE PORT OF LONG BEACH.

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. \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\nTHIS PRODUCTION CLOSED AUGUST 16\, 2025 \nPLEASE NOTE: The Studio Theater is on the 2nd Floor.
