The History Boys, by Alan Bennett, will run Apr. 10 – July 24, 2027 at Theatre Royal Haymarket, directed by Nicholas Hytner.
TBA.
Set against a backdrop of 1980s Britain, Alan Bennett’s history-making play tracks the course of eight schoolboys at an all-boys Grammar School in Sheffield, as they navigate sex, school politics and their teachers’ intellectual battle of wills. Poignant, subversive and deeply funny, The History Boys explores sexuality, adolescence and the nature of history, challenging the purpose of education whilst reflecting the changing face of England.

Nacho Ate Spiderman, by Michelle Kholos Brooks & Casey Stangl, will run Nov. 7 – Dec. 20 at Santa Monica’s Ruskin Group Theatre, directed by Stangl.
Sharon Lawrence, Dann Florek, Matthew Scott Montgomery, and Jamie Pierce.
Spiderman—an award-winning, free-range rabbit—is missing. The prime suspect? Nacho, the shaggy rescue dog next door who has recently developed a troubling interest in what lies beyond the fence. What begins as a neighborly conversation about pets, boundaries and one suspiciously large hole quickly spirals into accusations, shifting alliances, whiskey, cashew cheese, and the uncomfortable realization that being a good neighbor is a lot easier when nobody is testing the fence. This wickedly funny new West Coast premiere about good intentions, bad behavior, and what happens when civilized people stop being quite so civilized.
