Sf’s ACT is mounting Lehman trilogy in September.

Surprised a regional production announced before broadway. I would have thought the inheritance would be more likely due to current run on broadway doesn’t look like much of an extension beyond summer.

The Ahmanson in Los Angeles has announced a "transfer" of The Lehman Trilogy for late fall, with the same creative team as for Broadway. They have not announced casting, however. I wonder if the San Francisco production is also a "transfer" or if it is a home-grown local production.

This is the official act site and it does look like it’s more than just a local production. Very smart for tonys having a tour in place. I do think this will win over hangman or inheritance.

Looks like the same production as the Ahmanson, whose graphic features the London and Broadway set design. It runs at the Geary Sept 11 - Oct 11, in what’s called a “strictly limited engagement.” It runs at the Ahmanson October 20 - November 28. Both directed by Sam Mendes.

Usually a show opens on broadway to rave reviews and then regional theaters will start to get rights and announce a production the following season.

The Inheritance is a two-part, seven-hour play with a massive cast (plus those extras who only appear in one scene but are absolutely essential), which has not been a critical or commercial hit on Broadway. I doubt it will have much of a life in regional theater. The Lehman Trilogy, while longish, only requires three actors and minimal sets/costumes. It's also been around for a while and almost universally acclaimed. I expect to see it at a lot of top-tier regional theaters in the coming years.

I expect either Berkeley rep or ACT will produce the inheritance in the next season. New conservatory is another strong possibility.
