Geffen Playhouse has released rehearsal photos from its world premiere production of SYLVIA SYLVIA SYLVIA, written by Beth Hyland and directed by Tony Award-nominee Jo Bonney.

Village Green Productions is presenting  a world premiere musical comedy, KID GLOVES, book and lyrics by Matthew Leavitt, music by Nathan Wang. Check out photos below!

This world premiere musical comedy is fast-paced, hilarious, and sneakily poignant, skewering the utter depravity of reality TV and how it can corrupt even the most wholesome element of humanity – children!

IAMA Theatre Company is presenting a workshop production of Mathilde Dratwa’s biting, tender, and tragically modern new play Esther Perel Ruined My Life. Check out photos of the show below.

Pasadena Playhouse has share first look photos of the stars of Amadeus, Tony Award winner Jefferson Mays (A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, I Am My Own Wife) as Salieri and Broadway’s Sam Clemmett (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story) as Mozart. 

Award-winning director Cameron Watson invites us to watch the story of two lost souls looking for human connection who bloom and blossom after randomly meeting in a world that seems to consistently separate them from others into perpetual loneliness.

All new photos have been released of Paul Eiding and Juls Hoover HEISENBERG, written by Simon Stephens and directed by Cameron Watson. Check out photos here!

Julia Masli was a hit when she first came to the Woolly Mammoth Theatre for her 2024 one-woman performance piece “Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha,” soliciting problems from the audience and conjuring community, whimsy and sometimes magic on the way to solving them.

The fervor of a given audience – kind of its own character in this play - probably helps distract from the fact that, its sweet vibes aside, there’s not a lot of there in Lyons’ play. It’s a good time, but it’s light as a spritz of air freshener.

Table 17, written by Douglas Lyons and directed Zhalion Levingston is now playing at Geffen Playhouse. Get a first look at production photos.

Clowning meets catharsis: Julia Masli’s hit HA HA HA HA HA HA HA turns audience problems into performance art at the Pasadena Playhouse.

No form of artificial intelligence will be able to recreate the experience of sitting through Lauren Gunderson’s ANTHROPOLOGY, and specifically what Rogue Machine Theatre’s John Perrin Flynn has accomplished with it for the play’s North American premiere at the Matrix Theatre.

From start to finish, Hernandez and Vargas are to be commended for their tour-de-force performances, often taking on other roles in the brothers’ lives, be it their ancestors, employers, or the cop who changes the course of both their lives forever.

Adolescent Salvation is the kind of play that is challenging to review because I absolutely hate it, while loving what Rogue Machine does with it.

Roxana Ortega’s, one woman show, AM I ROXIE?  is absolute magnificence.  No need for lead-in or build-up.  The statement is consummate fact.

The Geffen Playhouse will open Am I Roxie? on Thursday, September 11, 2025, following previews September 3–10. Written and performed by Roxana Ortega (Nickelodeon’s The Casagrandes, The Groundlings) and directed by Bernardo Cubría, the one-woman show runs through October 5 at the Gil Cates Theater. See photos of the show.
