 A Bold and Intimate New Solo Show Penned and Performed by L.A. Cult Icon and Rogue Machine Resident Playwright Justin Tanner
My Son the Playwright dives head first, with courage and sharp humor, into a story that centers around the strained relationship between a playwright and his estranged father. In his most autobiographical play yet, two men in different apartments prepare for a meeting that they would rather avoid - but desperately need. What begins as a messy and comic struggle against pride and past resentments becomes a reckoning with vulnerability and forgiveness.
Directed by Lisa James
