IAMA Theatre Company is concluding its 18th season with the workshop production of …but you could’ve held my hand. Written by JuCoby Johnson and directed by H. Adam Harris. See photos!

…but you could’ve held my hand is a time-hopping portrait of four Black friends growing up, growing apart, and growing into themselves. From a stolen slice of wedding cake at age 10 to the complexities of adulthood, …but you could’ve held my hand offers up a non-linear swirl of past and present, pulsing with 90s R&B, prom night confessions, awkward first kisses, and other touchstone moments. Through love, queerness, and friends-turned-family, the play showcases the beauty and heartbreak of relationships across a lifetime. …but you could’ve held my hand runs through June 15, 2026 at Atwater Village Theatre, 3269 Casitas Ave, Los Angeles. Tickets ($35, includes fees) are available now.

IAMA Theatre Company’s production of …but you could’ve held my hand will feature Wade Allain-Marcus as Max, Paul James as Eddie, Courtney Sauls* as Marigold, and Krenée A. Tolson as Charlie. The standbys for this production are Nedra Snipes and JuCoby Johnson. (* denotes IAMA Theatre Company Ensemble Member)
