    Live @ The Lane is proud to present our 2025–2026 season centerpiece production, Don’t Sing No Blues for Me, running three weekends: April 24 – May 9.

    Max’s Barbershop is more than a place for a cut—it’s where stories are shared, friendly bets are placed, dreams take shape, and brotherhood runs deep.

    In Glenn Alan’s compelling comedic drama, the atmosphere shifts when one of the town’s most beloved women passes away. Whispers begin to circulate about her estranged son, Choice, who has fled the law and returned to town.

    It's soon clear that joy isn't the only thing being protected within the walls; there are secrets. And what starts as gossip quickly turns into a high-stakes bet: Who is Choice’s father… and what will happen when the truth comes out?
