Updated performance schedule below.

Audience members who have already purchased tickets via The Kentucky Center Box Office will receive notification of a refund, and are encouraged to re-purchase their tickets through LFL.

Statement from The Kentucky Center:
The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts sustained considerable damage on Wednesday, June 13, when a fire started within its arched ceiling above the main lobby. Most of damage appears to be from water, confined mostly to the lobby area.

We are currently assessing the damage to the entire facility and will determine when the building will reopen, as well as the impact on upcoming shows and events.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the men and women of the Louisville Metro Fire Department for their quick action and professionalism. We will continue to provide additional information once we have completed a full assessment of the situation.

A Newly-Devised LFL Original Production
Director: Kathi E.B. Ellis
Devising Director: Jennifer Thalman Kepler

JUN 18, 22-24, 2018

We. Are. Here. closes out Looking for Lilith’s 2017-2018 season June 18, 22-24 at Bellarmine University's Black Box Theater at Wyatt Center for the Arts. LFL’s newest original work explores our company’s and community’s responses to the political, social, and economic turmoil that has succeeded the 2016 election.

The production is directed by Co-Artistic director Kathi E.B. Ellis. The six person acting company includes LFL Founder and Co-Artistic director Shannon Woolley Allison with Jomaris DeJesus (Luz) and Jane Embry Watts (As It Is In Heaven, Sidewinders) returning to the Lilith stage. Newcomers Adama Abramson, Jo Valor and Angela Williams are making their Lilith debuts. The creative team is comprised of artists returning to LFL: Lighting Designer Tom Willis (Orlando, Alice in Black and White), Costume Designer Amy Davis (Becoming Mothers, Luz) and Sound Designer Alex Cooper (Carefully Taught). Stage Manager Sam Jenkins (As It Is In Heaven, Prevailing Winds) also returns to LFL.

LFL’s newest play incorporates oral histories, as well as contemporary media articles about “hot button” issues, including immigration, education, white privilege, institutional racism, gun control, and more. We. Are. Here. centers those issues in the lives of four families from very different backgrounds whose personal circumstances and daily choices are affected by these issues. A core approach for LFL, to all issues, is unpacking the role of women, queer and straight, white and of color, in our contemporary discourse.

We. Are. Here. was created through LFL’s well-honed devising skills with LFL Co-Founder/Artistic director Jennifer Thalman Kepler helming the devising process. Thalman Kepler and the diverse devising team have created a powerful, timely exploration of today’s world.

Join us for a Talk-Back on Saturday June 23 following the evening performance to engage in a conversation with local panelists about "How To Be An Ally".
