# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Geffen Playhouse. 10886 Le Conte Avenue. Los Angeles, California. 90024 Why You Should Bid:
If you were to purchase a season subscription directly through the Geffen Playhouse, an individual ticket would start at $245 for seats in Section B. This auction offers two best available tickets to every show of the season, including the 20th anniversary performance of The Brothers Size by Tarell Alvin McCraney. This opening show is not a part of the Geffen Playhouse Season Subscription, but is included here for you. Also included is access to the Opening Night Party for The Brothers Size as a guest of Lindsay A. Jenkins, founder of Maroon Arts and Culture and dramaturg for the production.
Additionally, your winning bid automatically makes you an inaugural member of The Maroon Crew which unlocks even more access including additional discounts to our performances at our partner organizations. Valued at over $1,500, this package does more than offer seats; it provides a gateway to a year of top-tier cultural experiences and exclusive access to VIP events. Most importantly, it supports our two-fold mission of supporting the development of new Black theater and connecting enthusiastic patrons of the arts to cutting-edge Black artists.

Desperate for camaraderie, he decides to bring his four lovable grandparents on his road to recovery. He drags them to Jazzercise class. He pressures them into playing memory games.

WEST COAST PREMIERE. Cousins Sade and Mina used to be inseparable. Now leading very different lives, they return to their childhood town for the funeral of their mother and aunt. While Sade is on a three-day furlough from prison and Mina experiences a brief reprieve from her career and life on the West Coast, the two try to make sense of grief, home, love, and kinship. As the clock ticks down, the cousins grapple with their conflicting memories of the past and their shared hopes for the future. Poetic and theatrical, Furlough’s Paradise explores family dreams of a utopia yet to be realized.

Geffen Playhouse’s Theater as a Lens for Justice initiative provides access to this production and supplementary programs for populations impacted by incarceration and is supported, in part, by Jayne Baron Sherman. This production is made possible, in part, by support from Cast Iron Entertainment.

Doors slam, sardines fly, and trousers drop in Michael Frayn’s side-splitting British farce about a theater company desperately trying to get their act together. Both onstage and backstage, chaos reigns for a troupe of floundering actors whose forgotten lines, misplaced props, and steamy romantic entanglements make it nearly impossible for the show to go on. An uproarious love letter to the theater, Noises Off is a peek behind the curtain—where everything that can go wrong, does!

Timeless and multi-layered, Waiting for Godot changed the course of contemporary drama and remains as resonant and riveting as ever. Gare St Lazare Ireland, “the unparalleled Beckett champions” according to the New York Times, bring their wit and skill to what promises to be a Godot for the ages featuring Conor Lovett (I’ll Find You, Versailles), Aasif Mandvi (Evil, The Daily Show), and Rainn Wilson (Thom Pain, The Office).

Drawing from the rich tradition of the Yoruba people of West Africa, The Brothers Size is a modern-day fable about two brothers in the Deep South. Ogun, the elder brother, embodies hard work and reliability, while Oshoosi, formerly incarcerated, is seemingly carefree and unpredictable. Their relationship is tested when the charismatic Elegba arrives, tempting Oshoosi back to his old habits. As the brothers wrestle with loyalty, freedom, and duty, their humanity is revealed through a raw and heartfelt exploration of the bonds of brotherhood.

Kicking off his inaugural season as Geffen Playhouse Artistic Director, Tarell Alvin McCraney’s acclaimed play The Brothers Size celebrates its 20th anniversary in the intimate Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater.
