Easy.” \nBehind the Mask: \nWhat happens when we take our masks off? When does the REAL (insert YOUR name here) get to stand up? AS IS. \nPost-pandemic\, 12 local artists went on a journey inward to learn more about themselves\, their interactions with others\, and how they show up in the world. Come witness as they creatively express themselves using storytelling\, spoken word\, monologues\, music\, and dance to allow you to see BEHIND THE MASK. \nCompany Statement:\nThe Long Beach Community Theater (LBCT) is a unique\, storytelling theater where the participants are given a topic and five minutes to share a true story from their lives using any form of performing or visual arts they like: dancing\, singing\, acting\, spoken word\, film\, or simply storytelling served straight-up – ANYTHING GOES! The LBCT provides a platform and a safe space for our friends and neighbors to express themselves and connect one story at a time. We strive to enhance our understanding of ourselves and others by producing original material revolving around social and cultural issues as well as values pertinent to the lives of our community. We believe everyone has a story and everyone’s story matters! \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.

Randall \nMusical Direction by Stephen Olear \nWinner of three Tony Awards\, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of capitalism\, bureaucracy\, corporate mismanagement\, municipal politics\, and musical theatre itself! In a large city a terrible water shortage\, caused by a 20-year drought\, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities\, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people\, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! This irreverently humorous “comedic romp” reinvigorates the very notion of what a musical could be\, with wickedly modern wit and sustained unbridled laughter! \n \nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\nTHIS PRODUCTION CLOSED NOV. 19TH\, 2022 \n \nCOVID Patron Safety Protocol\nPlease know that at our performances you\, and everyone in your party (including children)\, will be asked to: \n\nWear a mask within the facility.\nVoluntarily assume all risks related to potential exposure to COVID-19.\n\nAny questions regarding the policy please call and speak to a staff member\, 562-494-1014 \nPLEASE NOTE: The Studio Theater is on the 2nd Floor.

(British accent required.) \nGINNY (F\, to play 25-30) Lovely young woman in love with Greg\, but concealing a past relationship with an older man.  Her apartment reflects an energetic participant in the mod London scene of the 1960s. The character appears briefly in their undergarments on stage (1960s period bra and panties) and will engage in romantic contact with the character of Greg (kissing\, embracing.) (British accent required.) \nPHILIP (M\, to play around 50) Dissatisfied long-time husband of Sheila.  He has had an affair with his former office underling\, Ginny.  A successful businessman and gardening aficionado. He suspects his wife is having an affair and wishes to continue his own with Ginny.  (British accent required.) \nSHEILA: (F\, to play 45-50) Philip’s wife.  She is sometimes a bit befuddled but is a pleasant\, competent housewife and hostess.  She keeps her husband guessing about her fidelity to him but also shows concern for him. (British accent required.)

In a large city a terrible water shortage\, caused by a 20-year drought\, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities\, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people\, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

Who’s the real detective and who are the imposters? \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nNOTE:  All Roles will require a British Accent. \nWATSON (M\, 40s-50s) Any ethnicity. Polite\, reserved\, detail oriented\, everything you’d expect from Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick. However\, he is also seemingly a bit at the end of his rope\, having suffered many personal losses as of late. He presents himself as Watson in an unfamiliar role\, that of the sidekick on his own. He displays a surprising fortitude to make a go of it without Sherlock and is several steps ahead of the situation at all times. (Role Requires a British Accent) \nDR. EVANS (M\, 40s-50s)  Any ethnicity. Silky and officious\, he is the man in charge of an Asylum on an isolated island. No nonsense and intense\, but with an English gentleman’s demeanor.

(Role Requires a British Accent) \nHOLMES 1/THE CLIENT (M\, 40s-50s) The first of the three Holmes to arrive at the asylum and to be interviewed\, Patient 1 presents the demeanor we expect of Holmes; he is brusque and rather forward with Watson. He wears a jacket\, vest and slacks and looks almost identical to the Holmes we all know. / A sinister man who approaches The Woman with a proposition to steal a document from Signor Fonseca. (Role Requires a British Accent) \nHOLMES 2 (M\, 40s-50s) The second Holmes is disheveled\, restless and exhibits the skeptical nature of Sherlock Holmes. He wears a straitjacket and has long hair. (Role Requires a British Accent) \nHOLMES 3/SIGNOR FONSECA (M\, 40s-50s) The third Holmes also looks similar to the Holmes Watson remembers\, but his head is shaved.

Will Billy have the chance to escape his tedious daily life and the casual meanness of the other inhabitants of this small Irish island\, or will it all go wrong? Find out in this very funny\, darkly comic tale from the playwright who brought us The Lieutenant of Inishmore and the recent Oscar-nominated film\, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing\, Missouri.
