Live IN Theater Presents THE LOMBARDI CASE 1975 Murder Mystery, Sundays thru 7/29

It's 1975, and on the mean streets of the Lower East Side, word of a gruesome murder is announced over the AM/FM stereo from a passing car: "After responding to an anonymous call, firemen discover the body of a young woman in an abandoned building on E. 6th St. She has been brutally beaten and her body is severely burnt. Police officers from the 5th Precinct have identified the body as that of Christina Lombardi, daughter of Connecticut Congressman Luca Lombardi."

From award-winning actor/director Carlo D'Amore, and produced by Live IN Theater, THE LOMBARDI CASE 1975is a thrilling, interactive theatrical adventure, where audience members are transported into the world of the "Hell Precinct" to solve a notorious crime.

The experience begins at THE LIVING ROOM, 154 Ludlow St., between Rivington and Stanton Sts., on the Lower East Side, NYC. Subways: F or J, M, Z to Essex Street- Delancey, or the F to 2nd Avenue. www.livingroomny.com. The show runs every Sunday, 2pm, through July 29th, 2012. For tickets ($49) and more information, please visit www.liveintheater.com.

The Lombardi Case is based upon a composite of several real murders that occurred in NYC in the mid 1970s. Audiences become rookie cops charged with solving the case within two hours. On the beat through the streets of Loisaida, you and your team will watch each other's backs while encountering suspicious characters: the hustler, the pimp, the junkie, just to name a few. It's up to you and your team of recruits to grill the suspects, and piece together the clues before you present your theory, identify the killer, and hope that justice will be served.

Carlo D'Amore (director) created THE LOMBARDI CASE 1975 after the success of the Drama Desk-nominated THE RYAN CASE 1873, whichlaunchedin the spring of 2009. His main objective was to create an experience that went beyond interactive theater, by bringing history alive in a visceral experience, that places the audience in the driver's seat as they live inside the action. The creation of Live IN Theater Productions marks D'Amore's first foray into experiential theater. Since last year's sold out run of THE RYAN CASE 1873 (a murder mystery set in 1870s Five Points) and THE LOMBARDI CASE 1975, D'Amore has been developing new creative content including BOOTLEGGERS RUN,an interactive walk through the Prohibition ERA.

D'Amore is a Drama Desk-nominated director (Ryan Case 1873-Unique Theatrical Experience, 2012) and an award-winning actor, playwright, and educator with more than twenty-five years of experience in theater (Broadway, off Broadway, regional, and international credits), television, national radio, and film.D'Amore has been involved in groundbreaking productions across the country.
