"Stage Talk" with the Cast on Three Saturdays

How long did the cast rehearse? Are you wearing a wig, or is that your real hair? Where did you get the idea for this play?

Stage Talks bring you and your kids in contact with the cast and director, to answer questions and deepen the theatre experience. Stage Talks occur immediately following all Saturday performances of Lyle, and usually last 15-20 minutes.  Reserve your seats today.
