With wit, warmth, and soaring musicality, Sondheim’s songs shine as a joyful tribute to connection, love, and the shared human experience—filling our beautiful historic space with music that soars to the rafters.
As Landmark looks toward the future and continues to define what it means to be a community theatre, we are committed to embracing talent, inclusivity, and the joyful creation of art. This production reflects that vision—artists coming together in celebration, collaboration, and a shared love of storytelling that we are proud to sustain for years to come.
Share with us another unforgettable theatrical experience from the heart of Long Beach. Presented in the stunning sanctuary of First Congregational Church of Long Beach, this
production runs from May 8 through May 17, 2026 with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00 PM and Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM.
Tickets are $30 to $40 with a $5 convenience fee and are available for purchase online.

Distinguished Speaker Series: Dr. Anthony Fauci

ABOUT DR. ANTHONY FAUCI
Former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (1984-2022) and Chief Medical Advisor to the President (2021-2022), Dr. Fauci’s 38 years of public service spanned seven presidential administrations. He led US research and global response to HIV/AIDS, SARS, Ebola, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fauci oversaw an extensive research portfolio devoted to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious and immune-mediated diseases. He was at the forefront of HIV/AIDS research efforts, and is recognized for his pivotal contributions to our current understanding of the disease and the development of preventative therapies and medications. During President George W. Bush’s administration, he was one of the principal architects of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, which helped save more than 25 million lives in the developing world.
Throughout his career, Fauci faced his research and his critics with an unwavering devotion to science, a deep concern and empathy for those suffering from disease, and a human-centered pragmatism that ultimately led to extraordinary results. Fauci’s 2024 memoir, On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service, chronicles his life from his childhood in Brooklyn to his career as one of the most influential figures in public health.
Fauci’s trust in the scientific approach above political agendas was a driving force in his career. He was awarded both the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the National Medal of Science by President George W. Bush. He holds 58 honorary doctoral degrees from US and global universities, and has authored, coauthored, and edited more than 1,400 scientific publications.
Following his retirement from the NIAID, Dr. Fauci joined Georgetown University as a Distinguished University Professor in the School of Medicine. He also holds an appointment with the university’s McCourt School of Public Policy.
