Lonny Chapman Theatre (North Hollywood, CA)

An early classic from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), The American Dream hilariously undermines the false ideal of the all-American family. Albee helped revolutionize American theater in the late ’50s and early ’60s, thanks in part to inspiration from Europe’s Theatre of the Absurd and writers like Samuel Beckett and Jean Genet. Now coming to the Lonny Chapman Theatre in North Hollywood, this absurdist one-act comedy features Albee’s trademark biting dialogue and is, as the playwright put it, “a stand against the fiction that everything in this slipping land of ours is peachy-keen.” Premiering during the age of Father Knows Best, The American Dream remains as vital as ever.
