As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Center Theatre Group has announced that the 54th Ahmanson Theatre season is now expected to begin in August 2021. The previously scheduled West Coast premiere of The Lehman Trilogy, which was also prevented from making its official Broadway bow on March 26 as a result of the shutdown, is now scheduled to run from March 1, 2022 through April 10. The season will now kick off with Daniel Fish's Tony-winning production of Oklahoma! on August 25, 2021. That production is scheduled to run through October 3.
