The first production of the 2011-2012 season was Federico Garcia Lorca’s The House of Bernarda Alba, a drama of women in the villages of Spain, as a household full of women suffer the extended mourning period over the loss of the patriarch, overseen and enforced by their iron-fisted unyielding matriarch, Bernarda. In the spring, LFL adapted Jane Wilson Joyce’s book of poetry Beyond the Blue Mountains for the stage, which follows the stories of a family traveling west from Kentucky on the Oregon Trail, as they brave dangers and suffer great losses along the way. The season culminated with a weekend-long celebration of their 10-year anniversary at The Bard's Town. They then closed out the season with another summer trip to Guatemala, with ongoing support from U.S. Presbyterian congregations.
