After multiple sold-out runs in LA, LBJ: The Play makes its highly-anticipated East Coast debut!

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.

Sunny Zimmerman is LA's preeminent LBJ impersonator and scholar. You can follow their TikTok and Instagram @zimmer_down_, or check out their website at www.sunnyzimmerman.com. Their pronouns are L/B/J.

Caitlan Moore is a writer, director, and comedian from Washington, DC. Caitlan graduated from Vassar College, where she wrote and performed stand-up and sketch comedy with Indecent Exposure, an all women's & non-binary comedy group. She has workshopped projects at the INC. Program and the New York Stage and Film Filmmakers' Workshop. Most recently, she wrote on a yet unreleased Star Wars series for Disney+. Caitlan is based in Los Angeles where she has performed comedy at The Clubhouse, Junior High, and Moving Arts Theater.

Soraya Perry is a gesamtkunstwerker based in Los Angeles. When she isn't beforming in LBJ, she works as an editor, musician, and artist. She has edited for Forbes, HBO, and Blumhouse Productions, and her short film The Crack: An Origin Myth was an official selection at In-Short Film Festival and the Feminist Border Arts Film Festival. She performs as a vocal improviser with Gaia Music Collective and recently published "American, voice," an album of music about America. You can find her art and music at sorayaperry.com and @sorayaperry.

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.
