Our Audiences Say:
...what historical and economical learning moments! Once again thanks to LFL...
I am such an admirer of the company's work--it is a true gift to Louisville and the cultural scene
I don’t think I have ever seen a Looking for Lilith show where I didn’t laugh, tear up and want to talk about it afterwards.
The stories are so engrossing…told with tremendous dignity and depth.
It was so funny, and so sad, and so real.
LFL never fails to deliver but I really didn't expect the full production. The postwar setting was inspired and the acting superb, as usual.

CHOICES as a model for Social Change - READ MORE
When 15-year old Hannah receives numerous threatening messages from an online peer, she finds herself becoming more and more powerless. Terrified, it seems to Hannah that she has no other way to end the fear and pain than to take her own life.
In this interactive theater production, students will have the opportunity to stop the suicide and choose other options that will change the outcome for Hannah. Professional actors with the Louisville-based theater group “Looking for Lilith” will perform the short play, telling Hannah’s story. Just as Hannah makes that terrible decision to take her life, the play stops…
The actors then address the students in the audience, giving them the opportunity to actively “discuss” Hannah’s other options by intervening in moments in the play where Hannah could make different choices when dealing with her online bully. Students will be able to take Hannah’s place in the play and act out their ideas, practicing how they themselves would deal with the situation at hand.
The founder of Make a Difference for Kids, Mark Neblett, knows all too well the negative consequences of cyberbullying. His 17-year old daughter, Rachael Neblett, died by suicide in 2006 after she was stalked online by a peer from her school..”
We plan to bring the performances to other Kentucky students and students in other states via video conferencing. Since most schools will not be able to afford the funds, we plan to ask community leaders and businesses to sponsor a school in their community. We also plan to fund the project through grants and fundraising events. Our hope is that through this production, teens will see that negative experiences and outcomes can be changed through the different choices they make.
If your school is interested in participating in a performance or if you are interested in sponsoring a school production, please contact:
