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.

The first tale is of a marriage in tatters\, as the room a suburban couple uses while their house is being painted turns out to be the suite they honeymooned in years ago. In the second\, a Hollywood producer reconnects with a childhood sweetheart for a little romantic diversion\, but she turns out to be more than he bargained for. In the third\, the parents of a bride are fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom to get married. The town will be set laughing in this wild and richly funny farce that answers the age old question\, “What if these walls could talk?” \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\nTHIS PRODUCTION CLOSED NOV. 29\, 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.

Together\, they spend the day joking\, musing\, fighting\, kissing\, flouting authority\, and\, hopefully\, growing up. Through elevated language and spectacular design melding iconic ’80s looks with Elizabethan sensibilities\, The Club of Broken Fasts transforms this classic coming-of-age tale into a dramatic stage comedy fit for the Globe itself! \n\nOr if you prefer\, in verse: \nIt’s forty years since first we came to see \nThe work of teen movie auteur John Hughes. \nSee it re-writ in verse\, with endless glee! \nYou know the story\, though the words are new: \nBrain\, princess\, jock\, madwoman\, and a wretch\, \nOne Saturday\, sit in their school detain’d; \nAnd\, ere the strike of four\, all rules reject\, \nTheir secrets\, nay\, their very souls laid plain. \nBut one day’s liv’d within our humble show\, \nYet in that day\, such marvels come to pass \nThat something more of life you’ll come to know \nWhen you behold the Club of Broken Fasts! \n\n\n\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.

Carla Crale believes her mother was wrongly convicted of her father’s murder. In an attempt to clear her mother’s name\, she persuades those present on the day of her father’s death to return to the scene of the crime and ‘go back’ 16 years to recount their version of events. The play thrillingly slips from past to present\, as Carla takes on the role of her mother to see how others’ stories of what happened are warped by time\, prejudice\, and perception.  Can Carla find the real murderer\, or will the truth always be clouded by mystery? \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\nTHIS PRODUCTION CLOSED ON FEB. 7\, 2026 \nAGE LIMIT \nAs a courtesy to our patrons\, it is the policy of the theatre not to admit children under the age of 5.

Due to the age of our building\, there is no elevator and the theater is only accessible by stairs. \nDescription: \n“Nodding Off in Church” unfolds on Easter Sunday in Sherwood\, Arkansas\, as the Johnson family gathers under one roof. Between the morning service and Sunday dinner\, old tensions and quiet grief simmer beneath the surface. Elice Johnson\, the family matriarch\, leans on her faith to hold everyone together\, but her adult children wrestle with doubt\, disappointment\, and what belief means in their own lives. As memories of their late brother Emmanuel linger\, conversations about love\, loss\, and religion push the family to confront the difference between inherited faith and lived experience. \nCompany Statement:\nNodding Off in Church marks the first official production under our company\, and we couldn’t think of a better place to bring it to life than the Long Beach Playhouse. I had the honor of performing here last year in August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson\, an experience I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. To now return as both creator and director is a full-circle moment I’m deeply grateful for. With this company\, our goal is simple: to tell stories that spark conversation. We want to explore the uncomfortable\, the honest\, and the human because those conversations are what we believe bring us closer together. \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.

Reading 100+ scripts a year\, the New Works Literary Committee chooses two top plays (one local to southern California\, one non-local) to receive a stage reading with critical feedback from professional theatre critics and an audience talk back. \nAs it is a stage reading\, there will only be 3-4 rehearsals\, and actors will not need to memorize their scripts.  The stage reading of their show will only happen one night\, and there will be a talk back with the audience after the reading. \nSHOW 1:  AS WE LIKE IT\nBy Oded Gross \nStage Reading on Friday\, March 27\, 2026 \nDirected by Noah Wagner \nSHORT SYNOPSIS:  \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. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nROSE (F\, 20s): A young Jewish woman. \nAVRAM (M\, 40s): Rose’s uncle. \nMIRIAM (F\, late teens): Avram’s daughter. \nIDIS (F\, 30s): A Jewish woman. \nROLAND (M\, 20s): A wanderer; Kurt’s brother. \nKURT (M\, 20s): A wanderer; Roland’s brother. \n  \nSHOW 2:  WOLVES AT THE DOOR\nBy Ali MacLean \nStage Saturday\, March 28\, 2026 \nDirected by Andy Justus \nSHORT SYNOPSIS:  \nA poignant drama about Grace and Gavin\, who have recently lost their daughter Lucy in a mass shooting event. While grieving\, Grace is bombarded by a stream of visitors\, all who seem to want to exploit her in some manner. Grace and Gavin grapple with their own relationship woes\, as Gavin wants to heal and Grace isn’t ready to move on. The play flips back and forth in time from the past as we see what set the shooter on his path\, and the present with Grace navigating though the aftermath of her devastating loss. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nCasting open to all races and ethnicities. \nGRACE YEAGER (F\, mid 30s – 40): A woman grieving the loss of her 9-year-old daughter and struggling to keep it together.  Sensible and compassionate but impatient and direct when confronted by insincerity.  \nGAVIN YEAGER (M\, mid 30s – 40s): Grace’s husband.

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.

Fifty-year-old Henry II of England seeks to establish a line of succession and summons his family for Christmas at his castle in Chinon\, Touraine. He wants his youngest son\, John\, to inherit his throne\, while his estranged wife\, Eleanor of Aquitaine\, reprieved from imprisonment in England by Henry for the holiday\, favours their eldest surviving son\, Richard\, a proven warrior. Henry invites Philip II of France\, son and successor of Louis VII\, Eleanor’s first husband\, to settle some business. Louis had made a treaty with Henry pledging Philip’s half-sister Alais\, currently Henry’s mistress\, in troth to Henry’s future heir; Philip demands either a wedding or the return of her dowry\, the strategically important county of Vexin near Paris. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nNOTE: A British Dialect may be required. \nHENRY II (M\, 50 – 60\, all ethnicities.) \nKing of England. Although aging\, Henry acts like a much younger man. He has boisterous energy\, a forbidding temper\, and a relentless drive that makes him a formidable opponent. He is determined to have John\, his youngest son\, as his heir\, but he knows that if he does his remaining family could start a civil war. He is in love with his much younger mistress\, Alais\, the daughter of the late King of France\, but has no qualms using her as a bargaining chip in his plans. (Role may require an Intimate Moment with the character of Alais – kissing.) \nELEANOR (F\, 60 – 68\, all ethnicities.) \nQueen of England\, Duchess of Aquitaine\, & former Queen of France\, Henry’s estranged wife\, has been imprisoned under house arrest for ten years for supporting her sons in an unsuccessful rebellion. A decade older than Henry\, she’s always been his equal in intelligence\, wit\, & ambition. Her love for him is conflicted: she cares deeply for him but fiercely resists being disregarded or subordinate. Years ago\,  when Henry turned to a mistress\, Eleanor devoted herself to raising Richard\, her son. \nRICHARD (M\, 25 – 35\, all ethnicities.) \nThe eldest surviving son of Henry and Eleanor\, Richard has been a famous soldier since his sixteenth birthday. He’s impressive and domineering but has a tense relationship with both of his parents. Richard is his mother’s favorite\, yet he’s wary of her. He wonders if she genuinely loves and supports him or uses him as a tool in her conflict with his father. Richard feels neglected and excluded by Henry and silently yearns for his father’s approval but covers his pain with his warrior’s demeanor. (Role may require some Same-Sex Intimacy with the Character of Philip – Kissing/Embracing.) \nGEOFFREY (M\, 20 – 25\, all ethnicities.) \nThe second eldest surviving son of Henry and Eleanor\, Geoffrey is attractive\, charming\, and the most intelligent of the brothers. His parents\, however\, never consider him in the running to be king— even though he possesses the intellectual promise of a great monarch. His feelings of being neglected have made him a cold amoral schemer who constantly changes his alliances between Richard and John\, hoping to disgrace them both so he can gain the throne and his parents’ love and respect. \nJOHN (M\, 16 – 25 to play a 16 y.o\, all ethnicities.) \nThe youngest son of Henry and Eleanor\, John is Henry’s favorite and his chosen heir. Though he can be sweetly charming when he wishes\, he has been spoiled rotten by his father\, and often taunts his brothers\, knowing that Henry will back him up. However\, beneath his boasting\, he is deeply insecure\, as he knows he has neither Richard’s brawn nor Geoffrey’s brain. His lack of maturity and desperate desire to come out on top lead him to trust anyone who offers him a helping hand. \nALAIS (Pronounced “Alice”) (F\, 20 – 25\, all ethnicities.) \nDaughter of the late King of France and half-sister to King Philip. She is deeply in love with Henry\, many years her senior\, and has been his mistress for seven years. In that time\, she has grown from a simple teenage girl to a gentle and thoughtful young woman with a quiet strength. Though at times she tries to match Henry’s family in their ruthlessness\, she knows her kind nature will not allow her to truly compete with them. (Role may require an Intimate Moment with the character of Henry II – kissing.) \nPHILIP (M\, 18 – 24\, all ethnicities.) \nThe young King of France\, half-brother to Alais. Philip has come to Henry’s court to demand that a treaty made with his late father be fulfilled. He is relatively new to his throne and initially behaves with a commanding dignity\, showing little emotion. When his negotiations with Henry fail\, he encourages the rebellious thoughts of Henry’s sons\, making empty promises to each in turn. Philip is especially close to Richard\, who was his lover two years ago. (Role may require some Same-Sex Intimacy with the Character of Richard – Kissing/Embracing.) \nBEGINNING REHEARSAL SCHEDULE:\n\n\nThe Lion in Winter Beg. Reh.

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.
