The Seeing Place
,
September 26 - October 5, 2025, The Seeing Place, by Lauren Wilson, Directed by Marybeth Gorman Craig and Lauren Wilson, Longstreet Theatre
This new play by USC Theatre Assistant Professor Lauren Wilson is a ghost story inspired by the “haunted" reputation of our most notable performance venue. In the face of budget cuts and theatre closures, directing student Sam and her cast sneak into a long-abandoned Longstreet Theatre to stage a renegade production of Hamlet. The play imagines Longstreet, an 1855 building once used as Civil War hospital and morgue, in an advanced state of disrepair, having been closed for a decade for safety reasons. Undaunted by the theater’s flickering lights and creeping mold, the director and her cast throw themselves into the project – that is, until spirits of the building’s past begin to stir. By turns funny, frightening, and poignant, The Seeing Place is a theatrical homage to the theatre and its artists, who carry compassion forward like a flickering spark through a…
Admission Cost: $15 - $22.

The Grown-Ups
,
The Grown-Ups, by Simon Henriques and Skylar Fox, Directed by Hannah Magner, Benson Theatre,
Produced in conjunction with student group Ghost Light Productions, this critically acclaimed play invites you to pull up a seat around the fire with the counselors at summer camp Indigo Woods, who meet nightly to strategize about the next day’s activities without the kids finding out about…well, you’ve seen the news. As an increasingly volatile outside threat gets closer to their safe haven, the counselors struggle with how to preserve the fun while keeping their campers – and themselves – alive. The Grown-Ups explores how to mold the leaders of tomorrow in a dangerous world you’re hopelessly, tragically not prepared for. “An apocalyptic play... part satire, part scary story.” – The New York Times,
Contains language and situations that may not be appropriate for young audiences.

Admission Cost: $10.

The Importance of Being Earnest
,
November 7-16, 2025, The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde, Directed by Dustin Whitehead, Longstreet Theatre
Meet Jack Worthing, a socialite leading two lives. He’s the respectable “Jack” at his country estate, but pretends to be his imaginary brother, the freewheeling “Ernest,” in the city. When his good friend Algernon discovers the deception, he decides to get in on the action, coming to Jack’s country estate as the fictional brother. This complicates not only Jack’s designs on Algernon’s cousin Gwendolen, but Algernon’s own desire for Jack’s young ward, Cecily. Filled with absurdist plot twists and Wilde’s acerbic wit, this “trivial comedy for serious people” is a masterpiece of farce that The Telegraph said “has a claim to being the most perfect high comedy in the English language.”
