LILY at Dixon Place

ABOUT THIS SHOW
This is the story of two endings separated by sixty-three years. This is the story of how when the world as you once knew it crumbles into a pile of meaningless dust, it may be time to sing about the specifics of conducting a Clambake. This is the story of answers only available at sketchy carnivals in nowhere Maine. This is the story of love that hurts more then we wish it did. This is the story of the making of Carousel. Twice.

Get here early, we’ll be playing a round of Bingo before the show begins! Bingo winner gets a free drink!
