Local Classic Repertory Theatre Company presents the launch of their online Storytelling Series with a premiere of the digital production of DEADLIFT, streaming between September 30, 2020 - October 4, 2020.

DEADLIFT is told through song and storytelling while creating live visual art. The show is bound to make you feel guilty about how much you're laughing.

DEADLIFT will stream twice daily on the Local Classic Repertory's Mighty Networks Platform. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased here.
