Expand

Friday (7:30 pm), Saturday (2 & 7:30 pm) and Sunday (2 pm), March 10-12. Through March 19.

The innovative theater company brings together comedy, drama, music and dance in a collaborative extravaganza co-directed by artistic director Jessica Lanius and American Players Theatre veteran James DeVita. As with other LILA productions, it’s not so much a play as an exploration. Local and national playwrights, performers and storytellers look at intimacy, nightmares, betrayal and dreams.
