Hunter directed by John Perrin Flynn Henry Murray Stage ✨Saint Megan October 10 - November 15, 2026 written by Joy Gregory directed by Lina Patel MainStage ↪️side note: this concludes season 18. you probably noticed that we quietly re-organized what our “season” is and so from now on our seasons will align with the calendar year: my son the playwright, fairview, a case for the existence of god and saint megan are now our shows of season 18. very 😇 theme more detailed info about each show in our bio link x

every show is an era and every era has an end. this was fairview by jackie sibblies drury (2026). thank you to all the artists, cast and crew and thanks to every one of you for making it a sold out run. ✨

playwright’s roundtable 2026 ✨tickets for our playwright’s roundtable festival will be dropping this summer, along with some very cool news next week about the rest of our season! 🤫

“Is L.A. a theater town?” we know the answer. just look at all these bold, creative theatres defying odds every day. we are so grateful to be on this list and we are totally framing that illustration. 🥹 and if you happened to grab today’s October 22, 2025 issue be sure to check out the entertainment section for an article on ai, grief, and anthropology 💅🏻 ➡️link to the article (for subscribers of the LA Times only) in bio ✨please show it some love so the algorithm tells the editors that we are interested in information on LA theatres: the big and the small.

✨fairview must close may 3. no more extensions (believe us, we tried but scheduling a cast of 8 in-demand talented actors is near impossible). we have some tickets for saturdays and sundays. all other days are all sold out. more info in bio 🌹

we can’t tell you too much about the show because it’s something you have to experience but we can show you what the lobby vibes are.🌹 fairview is now playing at rogue machine theatre on melrose ave in los angeles. ✨starring @ieshamdaniels @iammarcomartinez @sepiaactress @jasmineashanti_stclair @daisytich @tylergaylord @michael.guarasci @g.a.l.a.nikolic directed by @zeescott casting by @vichoffmanla

✨”Progress happens only when institutions choose to make room for underrepresented voices, year after year. We have the honor and responsibility to ensure that the stories we tell reflect the full breadth of who we are. Rogue Machine has always been a place where bold voices are met with trust and craft is taken seriously.   I’m deeply proud of this Roundtable and grateful to Justin and Guillermo for listening and for making a year like this possible.” says the Roundtable’s Director, Lina Patel. @jcmla @jeannesak @amo_amas_ama @junecarryl @lpthepunk
