If the system won't let you purchase tickets, it usually means we're sold out. But sometimes there's a glitch. So feel free to contact us at 1-310-394-9779 or [email protected] and we'll help if we can.

From the acclaimed team that brought you Aspirin & ELEPHANTS, 2 Across, Almost Perfect,  A Love Affair, Mistakes Were Made and You Haven’t Changed a Bit (and Other Lies) comes the world premiere of Jerry Mayer’s 13th play.

Acclaimed playwright Mayer’s serious comedy underscores the importance of family and how terribly things can go awry when we place the bottom line at the top of the list.

“Angel” also fulfills Mayer’s life-long crusade against ambulance chasers, those predators whose faces leer down at us from every billboard in town, as he introduces the angel of an attorney (yes, there is such a thing) who's on a mission to chase them off the road.

94-year-old playwright Jerry Mayer, who has written for M*A*S*H, The Bob Newhart Show, All in the Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Facts of Life (where he was executive producer) and five of Mitzi Gaynor’s TV Specials, never shies away from tackling the big issues and MY LAWYER IS AN ANGEL is no exception. 

“Chris DeCarlo is a masterful director.” Theatre Scene

Chris DeCarlo, Playhouse Co-Artistic Director, has helmed 12 of Mayer’s world premiere comedies. Says DeCarlo, "Jerry Mayer's plays are a joy for a director, a cast and of course, an audience, touching on issues to which we can all relate - love, romance, marriage, financial woes, parents, infidelity, aging, and friendship. Experiencing a Jerry Mayer play brings us that much closer to the realization that turning the frown upside down is the best way to navigate through life’s most serious issues, big or small.”
