Back onstage for the first time since the Covid outbreak, our annual “Lights Up!” festival of new plays returns on Sunday, Aug. 4. The lineup features some of the South Bay’s top talent, including acclaimed Equity actors Mark Anderson Phillips and George Psarras. In 2020, City Lights turned “Lights Up!” into a podcast series of radio plays. Now, the festival is back in the building, featuring dynamic readings of two full-length plays, and a Maker Fair showcasing a variety of artists.
Festival admission for the full afternoon is Pay What You Can, or a suggested donation of $20. You can pay the $20 online, or call the box office at 408-295-4200 to name your own price.
