LBJ: The Play

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 LBJ, 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. Returning for its first full-length production, LBJ: The Play was named one of the LA Times' favorite shows at the 2024 Netflix is a Joke Festival, and Best of Fest at the 2022 Spaghetti Festival at The Elysian. The show returned three more times to The Elysian between 2023 and 2025, selling out Littlefield in Brooklyn (2024) in between.
