In YOUR LITHOPEDION a serial killer attempts to reform and becomes the founder of Serial Killers Anonymous, which totally wrecks his marriage. It's a dark, don't-bring-your-kids comedy about boredom, dysfunction, community and child murder. You'll never think of 80's music in the same way again.
Featuring Christian Toth and Lillian Wright*.

Christian Toth recently played the lead in Ampersand Theatre's production of Sheridan's The Rivals a Nicu's Spoon. He won praise from Byrne Harrison of Stagebuzz.com for his role as "Heinz" in Nosedive Productions' Halloween '08 production of The Master of Horror, a collection of plays based on the stories of Stephen King: "Of particular note is Toth, whose Heinz is an evil maniac, but one who is slave to his passions." He was also recognized by D.J.R. Bruckner in The New York Times for his "Constable Elbow" in Shakespeare in the Park(ing Lot)'s Measure for Measure: "How effective the malaprop Elbow is at tickling audiences."

"a riveting and nuanced performance by Ms. Wright" --Backstage. Ms. Wright has attended NYU-Tisch, the Stella Adler Conservatory, and spent a year studying with the British American Drama Academy.
