The Repertory East Playhouse is proud to continue Season TEN with the Los Angeles premiere of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic story, The Great Gatsby. Adapted for the stage by Simon Levy, authorized and granted exclusive rights by the Fitzgerald Estate, this is the only stage version allowed to be produced in the United States.
Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, passionately pursues the elusive Daisy Buchanan. Nick Carraway, a young newcomer to Long Island, is drawn into their world of obsession, greed and danger. The breathtaking glamour and decadent excess of the Jazz Age come to the stage in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, and in Simon Levy’s adaptation, approved by the Fitzgerald Estate.
Celebrate Opening Night on Friday September 12, with a costumed themed Gala that will feature a complimentary wine reception and live music celebrating the Roaring Twenties and The Jazz Age. Don you greatest 1920’s costumes and join The REP on the red carpet as we celebrate TEN Years of live professional theatre.
