On the Phone with God and His Head Writer

It’s not every day that you get on a conference call with God. But He’s easier to get hold of when He has a show coming to the Ahmanson Theatre from January 30 through March 13, 2016.

Playwright Young Jean Lee on Why We Hate Losers

How does the woman The New York Times has anointed “the most adventurous downtown playwright of her generation” follow up a silent play featuring an all-nude feminist cast? If you’re Young Jean Lee, you ask yourself the same question you ask yourself when you start any play—what don’t I want to write—then tackle a genre you’ve never w...
