The Hour of the Star

Experience a theatrical adaptation inspired by Clarice Lispector’s acclaimed novel, The Hour of the Star. The story follows Macabéa, a young Brazilian immigrant navigating life in the noise of the modern city, where she often feels overlooked. As her journey unfolds, the narration becomes increasingly focused on her innocence, loneliness, and the unsettling realization of how easily some people can go unseen. This is an in-person performance for ages 12 and up.

Horse Fun for Kids

Horse Fun for Preschoolers is a beginner-friendly class for kids ages 3 to 6 where they ride horses and learn the basics of horsemanship. Kids will practice important safety skills and learn hands-on topics like haltering, grooming, and saddling. The class also helps prepare riders for future individual lessons. Parents must stay on-site for the full class, and students should wear cowboy or cowgirl boots, a riding helmet, and jeans, with closed-toed shoes required for all guests at the ranch. There is also a $50 materials fee paid to the instructor at the first meeting.

A Doll's House, Part 2

Fifteen years after Nora Helmer walked out on her stifling domestic life, she returns to knock on the same door with an urgent request for her former husband. Before she can get what she needs, she has to face the people she left behind, and the conversations do not come easy. This bold comedy-drama continues Ibsen’s story and reflects on how much has changed over the years. Presented as part of the Long Beach Playhouse Studio Collaborative Season.
