THE GAME YOU WANT

by Bernardo Cubria

Fed up with the theater world’s desires to lock him down, Mexican playwright Bernardo Cubría sarcastically launches “Nar-Cocos,” a play about drug traffickers on Dia de los Muertos. To his surprise, the Public Theater picks it up. With mounting financial pressures and a newborn at home, this is his chance for business success. But when Scott Rudin offers him a run on Broadway on the condition that he exploit more of his identity and the headlines, he must decide how much he’s willing to compromise to ultimately be accepted. WORLD PREMIERE!

LUMINOUS HALF-LIFE

by Tanya Barfield

The highly anticipated Los Angeles premiere by Pulitzer Prize-nominated Tanya Barfield is a moving love story that spans decades in an instant – of marriage, children, skydiving and endless moments that make a life together. BRIGHT HALF LIFE was developed during a residency at the National Conference of Playwrights at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center (Preston Whiteway, Executive Director; Wendy C. Goldberg, Artistic Director) in 2014.

BELOVED

by Arthur Holden

In this world first, Dorothy and Stephen are married co-owners of a failing real estate company. They are shocked when they learn their teenage son has committed a disturbing crime – and they are devastated when they find out why. In three successive waiting rooms, accompanied by three young professionals, Dorothy and Stephen must overcome confusion, acrimony and bitter regret as they struggle to find a way forward.

All three plays will perform at the Road Theater, located in the NoHo Senior Arts Colony, 10747 Magnolia Blvd. in North Hollywood.
