Slinging razor guitars, thundering drums and an anti-hero named Johnny. Not the prelude of typical entries in the canon of musical theatre. But these elements herald a groundbreaking American musical all the same: with the burning passion of characters who yearn for something more, songs bursting with emotion and a story that dares you to feel, celebrate and hope. The music of Green Day and the lyrics of lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong captured the zeitgeist of a generation with its Grammy® Award-winning multi-platinum album. American Idiot puts those raw emotions front and center in a highly theatrical and thoroughly satisfying rock opera that burns up the stage.

This world premier production of Danai Gurira’s The Convert is a co-production with the McCarter Theatre Center and the Goodman Theatre. The play portrays salvation coming at an unholy price when colonialism threatens a Southern African boomtown in 1895. A young girl is put into strange new circumstances that pit ancient African traditions against Western culture and Christianity. When conflict erupts, she must follow her heart and make the ultimate sacrifice.

England, 1914. As World War One begins, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped from England to France. But Albert cannot forget Joey and he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home. The horses in this amazing piece of theatre are life-size AND life-like: crafted in cane, steel, leather and aircraft cables, by the extraordinary Handspring Puppet Company of South Africa, they embody the fire, spirit and nobility of living, breathing steeds.
The Los Angeles engagement of War Horse is generously supported in part by Artistic Director’s Circle members Kiki & David Gindler and Jeanette Shammas.
