Goat Songs Theatre presents

Lion in the Streets written by Judith Thompson directed by Bethani Jade

Lion in the Streets follows the ghost of a nine year-old girl, Isobel (Saija Shearer),

on her journey through the darkest depths of humanity to find understanding,

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.

Mature content: violence, sexual content

Herbal cigarettes will be smoked during the performance.
