Romeo and Juliet

Runs through September 26, 2026

 

Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum resets William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in New York City during the tumultuous Gilded Age, a period marked by stark social inequality and rampant industrialization. Through this lens, the famous love story becomes not just a tragedy, but a powerful warning about the costs of division, hatred and fear and the importance of compassion and human connection. There’s no better way to experience Shakespeare than by spending a summer afternoon or evening at Theatricum's spectacular outdoor amphitheater, carved into a rustic hillside in Topanga. Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum, 1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd., Topanga. (310) 455-3723 www.theatricum.com

The People of Pompeii

August 1, 2026 – October 4, 2026

Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum presents The People of Pompeii, a darkly funny, pinche new comedy by Bernardo Cubría set in Topanga Canyon, the bohemian enclave that is home to both Theatricum and the playwright himself. At once sharply critical and deeply affectionate, the play captures the beauty, contradictions, and resilience of a tightly woven haven where neighbors show up for one another in an era of climate catastrophe, even as tensions around privilege, belonging, and survival simmer beneath the surface. Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum, 1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd., Topanga. (310) 455-3723. www.theatricum.com

Waiting in the Wings

July 11 – Oct. 3

As Bette Davis famously noted, “Growing old ain’t for sissies.” Will Geer Theatricum Botanicumpresents Waiting in the Wings, a vibrant, funny, deeply humane comedy by Noël Coward that reminds us that a life well-lived is measured not by applause, but by connection. Set in “The Wings,” a charity home for retired actresses, Coward’s 50th play is a witty and poignant portrait of nine opinionated, funny, difficult, and full of life women, each of whom once basked in public admiration — but who must now learn to face old age together, long after the curtain has fallen.
