Emmy-nominated Brian Quijada will fill our theatre with imagination, resilience, and heart this summer. In hosting his very own TV variety show, a young man learns about the beauty and flaws of the American dream through the eyes of his Salvadoran grandmother – magically portrayed as a hand puppet. A West Coast Premiere, DC Theatre Arts hailed it as “beautiful and deeply touching.”

Originally written in 1978, Protest is a searing confrontation set in Communist Czechoslovakia, where fear and betrayal are the daily currency of life. Staněk, a privileged, regime-friendly writer, summons Vaněk, a blacklisted dissident, to plead for help—only to hesitate when his own safety is at stake. Their tense—and often wickedly funny—conversation becomes a battle for the soul, exposing the corrosive power of fear and the high cost of integrity.

THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT, a successful 1965 romantic comedy that played more than 365 performances on Broadway, is the perfect elixir that will provide new audiences with reasons to enjoy its brilliant and witty interpretation of the age old tale of attraction between opposites.
On the surface Bill Manhoff’s clever comedy is about unexpected love but on a deeper level it also shows how two insecure, unlikely neighbors, come to admire and respect each other despite their social and cultural differences.

Every night is opening night. The Fountain Theatre presents the Los Angeles premiere of White Rabbit Red Rabbit, the global sensation by Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour that explores the restrictions, censorship and denial of individual choice faced under a harsh regime. In this theater experience like no other, a different actor will step onto the stage at every performance and be handed a script they’ve never seen before. No rehearsal, no director. Wild and utterly original, White Rabbit Red Rabbit is emotionally vulnerable at times, hilarious at others, and always pushing the boundaries of what it means to be present: spontaneous, playful, interactive and unpredictable. Join the Fountain team for a piece of baklava and a conversation in the upstairs café after every performance.
