LBJ: The Play (in LA)

After multiple sold out runs at the Elysian, the 2024 Netflix Is A Joke Festival and New York, we’re proud to bring back the incredible LBJ: The Play (@lbjtheplay) to its original home.

In LBJ: The Play, a 5th grade teacher hires local performer Sunny Zimmerman to give a simple historical presentation as Lyndon B. Johnson. The only problem is, Sunny’s gone method. They’ve been living and breathing as Lyndon Johnson and LBJ’s decided that this is his one chance to salvage his legacy – with an ambitious theatrical production. As his vision doesn’t go according to plan, the boundaries between actor and role become increasingly blurred.

Named one of LA Times’ favorite shows of Netflix is a Joke Festival 2024 and Best of Fest at the 2023 Elysian Spaghetti Festival.

Written by and starring Sunny Zimmerman. Directed by Caitlan Moore. With Katie Davis, Albert Muzquiz, and Soraya Perry. Devised by the cast.
