Laguna Playhouse will present the second show of its 2025/2026 season with the rolling world premiere comedy, BESIDE MYSELF by Paul Slade Smith and directed by David Ellenstein. BESIDE MYSELF will begin previews on Wednesday, October 29 and will run through Sunday, November 16 at the Laguna Playhouse, 606 Laguna Canyon Dr. in Laguna Beach. Check out photos below!
Step into the brilliantly inventive world premiere BESIDE MYSELF where modern anxiety meets magical possibility, as a revolutionary medical procedure creates an unexpected double dose of identity crisis. This witty, surreal comedy sparkles as two versions of one woman wrestle for control with hilarious and profound results.
From Paul Slade Smith, the clever mind behind The Angel Next Door, The Outsider, and Unnecessary Farce, comes a comedic exploration where finding your best life means learning to embrace both sides of yourself.
