After multiple sold out runs at the Elysian, the 2024 Netflix Is A Joke Festival and New York, we're proud to bring back the incredible LBJ: The Play (@lbjtheplay) to its original home.
In LBJ: The Play, a 5th grade teacher hires local performer Sunny Zimmerman to give a simple historical presentation as Lyndon B. Johnson. The only problem is, Sunny’s gone method. They’ve been living and breathing as Lyndon Johnson and LBJ's 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.
Named one of LA Times' favorite shows of Netflix is a Joke Festival 2024 and Best of Fest at the 2023 Elysian Spaghetti Festival.
Written by and starring Sunny Zimmerman. Directed by Caitlan Moore. With Katie Davis, Albert Muzquiz, and Soraya Perry. Devised by the cast.

Albert Muzquiz is a reluctant tiktoker and enthusiastic actor, grateful to be returning to the stage with this tremendous cast. His quixotic acting journey began in theatre High School and continued at Vassar College, where he did improv, sketch comedy, and some Shakespeare. A history thesis on Levi’s Jeans sent him on a long tangent into the fashion world, where he now firmly resides. He loves this team almost as much as he loves pants, which is quite a lot. Albert can be found on Tiktok and Instagram @edgyalbert where he wears clothes and talks about them too.
Katie Davis is a comedic performer and writer, originally from Savannah, GA. Katie moved to Nashville, TN for college which is where she began performing comedy— first as a performer and director in her college's sketch team, then as a member of three house teams at Third Coast Comedy Club. Since moving to Los Angeles in 2019, Katie worked various entertainment jobs before landing her first Showrunner's Assistant gig in 2021 for Amazon's UPLOAD. After working on the show's third season from the writers' room to wrapping post, Katie joined the team on an upcoming Netflix animated comedy as support staff.
