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.

Successful businessman Joe Benjamin is a modern day ‘Job’ with a loving wife\, two clueless but supportive younger children\, and a household staff.

A precocious intellect herself\, Ada and Charles form a romance of the mind as she envisions a whole new world where art and information converge. Their ideas lead to the first mechanical computer in Lauren Gunderson’s music-laced story of love\, friendship\, and the edgiest dreams of the future as Jane Austen meets Steve Jobs in this poignant pre-tech romance heralding the computer age. \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\n\nThursday\, July 3\, 8pm – Special Thursday Night Show\nFriday\, July 4th\, 8pm – NO SHOW DUE TO THE HOLIDAY\nSaturday\, July 5\, 8pm – Closing Night\n\nPLEASE NOTE: The Studio Theater is on the 2nd Floor.

But before she can get comfortable atop the food chain\, she runs afoul of Heather Chandler\, the almighty queen of the school.

JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE DESCRIPTION:DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE\nPlaying in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater\nSept. 20 – Oct. 18\, 2025\nAdapted by Jeffrey Hatcher\, from the novella by Robert Louis Stevenson\nDirected by David Scaglione\nSee this chilling new play version of the classic story of duality\, desire\, and depravity taken from one of the most famous tales of Gothic horror. Behind the doors of Victorian London\, Dr. Henry Jekyll’s experiments have brought forth his other self—Edward Hyde\, a sensualist and villain free to commit the sins Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend. As we encounter the multiple faces of Hyde\, he meets a woman who stirs his interest. But Jekyll fears for her life and decides to end his experiments. Hyde has other ideas\, and so the two sides battle each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to determine who shall be the master of the mind they share.  \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\nTHIS PRODUCTION CLOSED OCT. 18\, 2025 \nAGE LIMIT \nAs a courtesy to our patrons\, it is the policy of the theatre not to admit children under the age of 5.
