As It Is In Heaven

Looking for Lilith brings Arlene Hutton's elegant exploration of Kentucky's Shaker sect to the stage with its signature integration of music and movement into this closely-researched script. Set in Harrodsburg Kentucky's Pleasant Hill during the 1830's revival period, Hutton's script focuses on nine women, including a handful of newcomers to the community who have ecstatic experiences, claiming to see angels.

“Hutton asks some universal questions about the nature of community and belief that are timeless. . .” states American Theatre. The Herald says the play is " …powerful and insightful…a thought-provoking piece, the message being that often we need not look as far as heaven to see angels here on earth…".LFL produces this play as a tribute to a fascinating time in Kentucky's history seen through the eyes of a particular group of women. As the playwright herself says, “This production means a lot to me -- celebrating Women's History Month, being produced at Looking for Lilith and bringing my Shaker characters back to Kentucky!"
