IAMA Theatre Company concluded its 18th season with the workshop production of …but you could’ve held my hand. Written by JuCoby Johnson and directed by H.

From a stolen slice of wedding cake at age 10 to the complexities of adulthood, the play offered 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 showcased the beauty and heartbreak of relationships across a lifetime. …but you could’ve held my hand played June 4–15, 2026, at Atwater Village Theatre in Los Angeles.

IAMA Theatre Company’s production of …but you could’ve held my hand featured Wade Allain-Marcus as Max, Paul James as Eddie, Courtney Sauls as Marigold, and Krenée A. Tolson as Charlie. The standbys for the production were Nedra Snipes and JuCoby Johnson.

The production team bringing …but you could’ve held my hand to the stage included Jordan Bass (Casting Director), Elton Bradman (Sound Designer), Alexis Carrie (Costume Designer), Kassia Curl (Assistant Lighting Designer), H. Adam Harris (Director), Anise Hines (Intimacy Director/Choreographer), JuCoby Johnson (Playwright), Fred Kinney (Scenic and Props Designer), Max Kunke (Assistant Stage Manager), Nico Pang (Associate Director), Zachary Phaneuf (Technical Director), Avery Reagan (Lighting Designer), and Lanae Wilks (Production Stage Manager).
