2016-2017 Season

About the Show
Written by Jonathan Tolins
Directed by Dimitri Toscas
Opening Night is October 14 at 8pm.
Inspired by Barbra Streisand's book My Passion for Design, this Off-Broadway hit is an outrageous comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things, and the oddest of odd jobs. Jai Rodriguez (ABC's Malibu Country, Broadway's Rent, Bravo's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) stars as Alex More, a struggling actor in LA, who takes a job working in Barbra Streisand's Malibu basement, as a solo shopkeeper of sorts for her mall-like collection of memorabilia. One day, the Lady Herself comes downstairs to play, and an unlikely friendship develops.
This one-man-play takes the audience on a rollercoaster of emotions as Alex navigates a world that is part truth and part fiction. What is true? There is a galleria in the basement of Barbra Streisand's Malibu home. Tolins takes this truth and creates a hilarious world where one man services the whole mall for a single customer, Babs herself.
