A California Premiere! Winner of Broadway World Seattle Critic’s Choice Award for Best New Play (2016)

It is the fall of 1964, with the presidential election looming, when a Madison Avenue advertising team working for incumbent president Lyndon B. Johnson unleashes the most devastating political advertisement ever conceived: the “Daisy” ad. The ad ran once and was immediately banned, but its impact was—and is—still felt. Based on true events, Daisy, a riveting new political play that captures the moment in television history that launched the age of negative advertising and forever changed how we elect our leaders. Daisy explores the art and science of political manipulation, the forces at play on public consciousness, and the impact that fear has had on our democracy.

Winner, Best World Premiere Play, Stage Scene LA (2013)

The carefully constructed life of Julie Dolan, an African-American attorney with a career on the rise, begins to crumble when her Iraqi half-sister, Neyla—whom she never knew existed—shows up at her door. Neyla has fled Iraq to audition for Julliard as a musician, but Julie suspects there is more to her story. This hard-hitting drama about family conflict and clashing cultures shares a touching story of empathy and understanding, as both sisters struggle to come to terms with their pasts and prejudices in order to move forward as a family.

A Tony Award Winning Play! Olivier Award Nominee – Best New Comedy

On a very important night for the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, Tito Mirelli, the world-famous Italian tenor, is set to perform the starring role. He arrives late and, through a set of crazy circumstances, passes out after mixing wine with a double dose of tranquilizers. Believing that their star is dead, the excitable opera manager Henry Saunders taps his hapless assistant, an aspiring singer named Max, to suit up and replace Mirelli. Together, Max and Saunders must find a way to save the Opera Company’s big night while navigating from one mishap to the next in grand, farcical fashion. A sensation on Broadway and in London’s West End, this madcap, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.”

This production is a tribute to the Ackerman Family for their longtime ongoing support.

A vacationing couple celebrates their anniversary at a Greek restaurant in Palm Springs—but will the marriage survive the service? As a needy waiter insinuates his way into their meal—and their lives—the couple examines their past and their future together. Slow Food is 90 minutes of snappy dialogue laced with risqué double entendres, unexpected flirtations, a contrast between West Coast and East Coast life, and a look at the marriage of two empty-nesters. Playwright Wendy MacLeod brings us a tender comedy that delves deeply into what we hunger for.
