Alive Theatre Presents4th Annual Long Beach Poppin’ Play Festival, 11/4-5, 18-19

Alive Theatre will present the 4th Annual Long Beach Poppin' Play Festival, the latest in our award-winning series of new works theatre festivals, assembling dozens of local artists to craft a two-month-long celebreation of wildly diverse and boldly experimental stage shows!

This year's festival promises to be the best yet, with stories including hallucinogenic, guilt-and-heavy-metal-fueled wilderness survival tales (Headlights & Bush) and mysterious meditations on the creative impulse by way of ghost stories and lost artifacts of ancient Americana (Return to Thunder Mountain); tales of the day human beings break down the walls that separate them in dreams (Le Reve Collectif), and the bittersweet terror of the not-so-distant-past (Good Riddance, from the playwright who brought us Entropy General); experimental pieces that ruminate on family (Raised By Wolves), mortality (Garden of Ashes), and Alzheimer's (Bring on the Dancing Girls) - and much, much more!

Theatre. Music. Art. Be a part of Long Beach Arts Month and 11 World-Premiere Plays, from some of the best talent Long Beach has to offer!
