Brooklyn, New York:
A new play, Convention, World-premieres
Inspired by the 1944 Democratic National Convention, this theatrical spectacle premiered with a sold-out, four-week run at Irondale Theater.
Staged with a cast of 40, the original production drew packed houses and standing ovations - praised by audiences and critics for its urgency, audacity, and ambition. It was both a carnival and a provocation: theater as civic ritual, cultural critique, and unflinching event.
With bold new staging and an expanded cast of 52, the long-awaited September 2025 LA remount builds on the energy and acclaim of the New York run.
“Two hours of enthralling, controlled chaos... A raucous, wildly ambitious fact-based drama.”
✪ Gay City News
“CONVENTION’s massive cast makes you feel like you are on the floor in the middle of the action.”
✪ Broadway World
“If you enjoy bribes, secret meetings, spying, extramarital affairs, conniving and pettiness, there is much to gawk at during this political soap opera.”
✪ Broadway World
“More of an experience than a play. A theatrical ‘choose your own adventure’.”
