DESCRIPTION:KIMBERLY AKIMBO\nPlaying in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Studio Theater\nJune 6 – July 3\, 2026\nBy David Lindsay-Abaire\nDirected by Michael Hovance\nIn this zany\, warmhearted comedy play that inspired the recent Tony Award winning musical\, Kimberly is a lonely 16-year-old girl suffering from a disease that causes her to age at more than four times the normal rate.

SUMMARY:HANGMEN
DESCRIPTION:HANGMEN\nPlaying in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Studio Theater\nAug. 29 – Sept. 26\, 2026\nBy Martin McDonagh\nDirected by Carl DaSilva\nIn his small pub in Oldham\, Harry is something of a local celebrity. But what’s the second-best hangman in England to do on the day they’ve abolished hanging? Amongst the cub reporters and sycophantic pub regulars dying to hear Harry’s reaction to the news\, a peculiar stranger lurks\, with a very different motive for his visit. Martin McDonagh does it again in HANGMEN\, a corrosively funny black comedy filled with dramatic tension in a juicy tale of capital punishment that will leave you “hanging” on the edge of your seat with suspense and devilish delight. \n  \n \nA Big THANK YOU to the Port of Long Beach for Sponsoring the 2026 Studio Season! \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\n\nFriday\, August 28\, 8pm – Preview\nSaturday\, August 29\, 8pm – Opening Night and Champagne Gala\nFriday\, September 4\, 8pm\nSaturday\, September 5\, 8pm\nSunday\, September 6\, 2pm\nFriday\, September 11\, 8pm\nSaturday\, September 12\, 8pm\nSunday\, September 13\, 2pm\nFriday\, September 18\, 8pm\nSaturday\, September 19\, 8pm\nSunday\, September 20\, 2pm\nFriday\, September 25\, 8pm\nSaturday\, September 26\, 8pm – Closing Night\n\nAGE LIMIT\nAs a courtesy to our patrons\, it is the policy of the theatre not to admit children under the age of 5.
