I wrote about Shangri-La-La (at Go Fund Me) in September, after I saw the show at the Arlington Draft House in northern Virginia. I had some critiques here and there, but I greatly enjoyed the show overall.
Maybe more tellingly, Shangri-La-La has proven memorable. There was a lot to provoke thought—least of all about the inefficacy of the tort system—in the show, which creative writer and no-longer-practicing attorney Mike Meier authored and acted in. Before leaving practice, Meier represented the plaintiffs in Preiss v. Horn (9th Cir. 2013), an unsuccessful Nevada suit that alleged retaliation against a physical therapist for his rebuff of Horn's sexual advances.
Shangri-La-La has earned invitation to New York festival stages. The show appeared last week, April 13-19, 2026, at the Back Door to Broadway Festival. You can catch Shangri-La-La on July 25 and 26, 2026, at the Midtown International Theatre Festival.
Meier wrote to me graciously in March and hinted that the show might also offer "the framework" for a Netflix TV series, as early as 2027. Color this small-screen enthusiast interested!
Stay tuned.
