Performances run from January 13 through February 5.
Lamplighters Community Theatre will present the West Coast premiere of The Revlon Girl, Neil Anthony Docking's story that follows the 1966 Aberfan Disaster. Fans of 'The Crown' may recall the tale of Aberfan, Wales, and the sadness that befell the town on October 2, 1966. Due to the failure of authorities to implement any valuable safety measures, a pile of coal mine waste developed into a landslide and buried some 144 people. The Pantglas Junior School was right in its path, and 116 children died.
The Revlon Girl explores the process of grief, redemption, and the embracing of what it is to move forward through the tears and laughter of mothers seeking to return to a sense of normality and embrace a different type of future.
