Goat Songs Theatre presents
Lion in the Streets written by Judith Thompson directed by Bethani Jade

forgivness, and love. This play will lead you down to meet the monsters we are
all hiding under the surface, and, just when you think there is no hope left, it
will lift you up and touch you with the power of compassion.
