LBJ: The Play Premieres in NYC!

After a long and flirty life of sold-out short runs in LA and NY, LBJ: The Play will be making its NYC premiere at Paradise Factory in October 2026. With our space locked, we’re kicking off our fundraising campaign and need your help. We would be so grateful if you would be willing to show your support of the show and our team by donating to our campaign. We need to raise $15,000 to finish paying our artists. All of your donations will go directly towards artist fees. Any support, large or small, makes a huge impact!

Thank you for supporting independent art-making during a time of dwindling resources when no one seems to be taking about Lyndon B. Johnson.  Please check out our perks, too - shoutouts, tickets, your own history lessons, opening toasts, and more.

A 5th grade teacher hires local performer Sunny Zimmerman to give a simple historical presentation as LBJ. The only problem? Sunny’s gone method. They’ve been living and breathing as BLJ and LBJ has decided that this is his one chance to salvage his legacy…with an ambitious theatrical production. As his vision doesn’t go according to plan, the boundaries between actor and role become increasingly blurred.
