I’m thrilled to announce that my historical drama “Fifteen Men in a Smoke-Filled Room” is being produced by Theatre40 of Beverly Hills as part of their 54th season!

Theatre40  is a respected, award-winning professional theater in Beverly Hills. It is “currently comprised of approximately 150 professional actors, actresses and directors” in the Los Angeles area. The name comes from the street number of their original location at 40 Haldeman Road in Santa Monica Canyon, where they started in 1964 as local actors and actresses gathering to read Shakespeare.

Since its founding, Theatre40 has grown into an established theater with six main stage productions a year, as well as readings, seminars, and adult education classes. They currently occupy theater space at Beverly Hills High school (Reuben Cordova Memorial Theatre) designed by acclaimed Broadway designer Ming Cho Lee. They are helmed by Artistic Director David Hunt Stafford.

As Theatre40 explains on their website:

“In the 50 odd years since (its) first readings, Theatre 40 has many achievements for which we can be proud. We are the recipient of the Margaret Harford Small Theatre Award given by the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle for continuing excellence in theatre, awarded in 1995. Originally we produced only Shakespeare and the Classics, but have broadened our horizons to include American classics, World and Los Angeles premieres and plays by our own members.”

I’m very proud for “Fifteen Men” to be listed in their distinguished line-up of premieres this upcoming season!
