directed by Christy Montour-Larson (DCPA Theatre Company’s Shadowlands).

There are also many special one-night only events in May, including a fundraiser for the Matthew Shepard Foundation at Lannies Clocktower Cabaret, and the return of the developing musical I Am Alive, about the Armenian massacre. It’s Friday, April 29, at the Mile Hi Church in Lakewood. It, too, is directed by Christy Montour-Larson.
