The Exorcist
July 3 - August 12, 2012
Written by John Pielmeier Directed by John Doyle
Based on a Book by William Peter Blatty
The most chilling test of faith come to life on stage. This world premiere adaptation of the famous 1971 novel documenting the terror and redemption of a ten-year-old girl remains as frightening and relevant as when first experienced. Under the direction of Tony Award winner John Doyle and adapted by acclaimed playwright John Pielmeier (Agnes of God), The Exorcist transforms the unsettling battles of good versus evil, faith versus fact and ego versus ethos into a uniquely theatrical experience as sophisticated as it is suspenseful.

The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity
August 30 - October 9, 2011
Written by Kristoffer Diaz Directed by Edward Torres
Think pro-wrestling is all outrageous masks and pyrotechnics? Think again — there’s so much more in this 2010 Pulitzer Prize finalist. The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity slams together thrilling spectacle, incredible characters and geopolitical allegory into an invigorating theatrical experience you can’t find on pay-per-view. This smackdown of a play tackles racism, drop-kicks globalization and brings a championship tale into the ring. In wrestling, as in life, behind every winner lies the story of a really excellent loser
Gil Cates Theater at the Geffen Playhouse
Running time is approximately two hours including one fifteen minute intermission.
Contains strong language, loud noise and theatrical effects such as strobe and fog.

2010 Tony Award - Best Play
Drama Desk Award - Outstanding Play
Outer Critics Circle Award - Outstanding New Broadway Play
|
Next Fall
October 25 - December 4, 2011
Written by Geoffrey Nauffts Directed by Sheryl Kaller
Next Fall, which has already won widespread critical acclaim (nominations for the 2010 Tony Award for Best Play, Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play, Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Broadway Play) makes its West Coast debut with the original New York director. Adam and Luke seem like a case of opposites attract – Adam is older, neurotic and an atheist; Luke is impulsive, a struggling actor and a devout Christian. After Luke is involved in a critical accident, family and friends descend upon the couple and these longtime differences collide, forcing opposing views on faith and family into a stand-off. As timely as it is touching, this must-see play exposes the fundamental truth that we love people both because of – and in spite of – who they are .
