Through these programs and our performances, we help show the value of multiple perspectives on history.
Looking for Lilith provides touring productions, in-school arts education and after-school programs for pre-K through 12th grade, including our award-winning interactive performance, Choices. We also offer professional development opportunities for teachers.
