Hollywood Arms

March 12-15, and 19-22, 2026

by Carrie Hamilton and Carol Burnett

 

Based on Carol Burnett's memoir, One More Time, this play is set in California in 1941 and 1951. It is the funny but moving story of three generations of women living on welfare in a one room apartment, one block north of Hollywood Boulevard. The cast of characters includes a tough but tender Christian Scientist grandmother, a beautiful mother struggling to be a writer, and a young girl who escapes to the roof of their rundown apartment, where she creates her own magical world at the foot of Hollywood Hills.
