Meet the Family
Whitham family is an avant-garde creative trio. Based in LA, they specialize in experimental comedy, independent film, fine art, and live theatrical performance.
Their combined work is a breathtaking tapestry of films, art, sculpture, experimental television, and boundary-defying theatrical performance that ignites the imagination.
April and Jared dreamed up Whithamworks as their magical umbrella—one that floats above their family’s wildest ambitions, showers their projects with possibility, and shelters a world where creativity can play and flourish.
At the heart of their creative adventures is Whitham Works Studios, their magical live/work haven in East Hollywood—where ideas spark, laughter echoes, and every day brims with artistic possibility.
Step right up for THE GATZ BENNY SHOW—a spectacular family Vaudeville extravaganza!
This bonanza of a show has everything: non-stop laughs, jaw-dropping surprises, and something magical for everyone! Experience a wild new twist on the classic variety show, guaranteed fun for kids, parents, and everyone in between. Picture I Love Lucy colliding with the zany world of Pee-wee’s Playhouse—pure comic chaos! Hosted by the one-and-only Whitham Family,
APRIL HAVA SHENKMAN, JARED WHITHAM, and their show-stealing son, GATSBY, plus dazzling special guest stars at every performance! Get swept up in the hilarious shenanigans of parenthood and childhood through side-splitting comedy, toe-tapping music, mind-blowing magic, whimsical puppets, and outrageous clowns!
Our dazzling premiere lit up the stage in July 2024 at The Bob Baker Marionette Theater,
and the magic has continued there season after season. Beyond Bob Baker, it has been performed at LAUSD schools, L.A. Public Libraries, and The Assistance League Theatre in Hollywood, spreading joy all across Los Angeles!
