The musical opens November 7 in Thousand Oaks for a four-week run through November 30, 2025.
Conejo Players Theatre will mark the 50th anniversary of A Chorus Line with a new production of the groundbreaking musical, opening November 7, 2025, and running through November 30, 2025. Directed and choreographed by Mirian Durrie-Kirsch, this revival brings the enduring story of Broadway dancers’ hopes and heartbreaks to life for the Conejo Valley community.
“After 50 years, A Chorus Line is still so relative to the journey of an artist,” said Durrie-Kirsch. “I am honored to be directing and choreographing this pivotal piece that has meant so much to me and many others through the decades.” She added that while she intends to honor the show’s original choreography, she also looks forward to bringing her own creative interpretation to the work. “The ambitious, hardworking cast that is part of this project blows me away daily. None of it can be accomplished without the talent, dedication, and behind-the-scenes magic of our production crew.”
The musical unfolds through intimate monologues and high-energy numbers as a group of Broadway dancers audition for a coveted spot in a new production. Through their stories—spanning love, identity, rejection, and resilience—A Chorus Line captures both the struggle and joy of pursuing a life in the arts.
Opening night on November 7 will feature a red-carpet celebration and a post-show champagne reception with the cast and crew. Performances will continue for four weekends, with evening shows on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 PM, Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM, a special Thursday performance on November 13 at 8:00 PM, and an additional Saturday matinee on November 22 at 2:00 PM.
