Photos: LITTLEBOY/LITTLEMAN in Rehearsal at Geffen Playhouse
Performances run October 1 - November 2.
Geffen Playhouse will present the world premiere production of littleboy/littleman, written by Rudi Goblen and directed by NANCY MEDINA. Check out rehearsal photos here!
Goblen's littleboy/littleman marks the second consecutive world premiere launching Geffen Playhouse's 2025/2026 season lineup. The cast includes Alex Hernandez as Bastian Monteyero and Marlon Alexander Vargas as Fíto Palomino, with musicians Dee Simone and Tonya Sweets.
Previews for littleboy/littleman begin Wednesday, October 1, 2025, in the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater at Geffen Playhouse. Opening night is Thursday, October 9, 2025. Two performances of littleboy/littleman will be captioned in Spanish.*
When Nicaraguan brothers Fíto and Bastian clash over their visions of the American Dream, their choices send them on a collision course with fate—risking not just their futures, but their bond. Fíto, a poet, is impulsive and ambitious, willing to take risks to get what he wants. Bastian, a telemarketer, is steady and principled, holding onto caution as a guide. Blending poetry, live music, and ritual, this electrifying tale of brotherhood and belonging pulses with rhythm and emotion, pulling us into a world where family is everything, but dreams come at a cost.
