Marnie and Alice become reacquainted with each other's deeply held secrets, uncertain pasts and hopeful futures.
'Lewiston is a gem of a play by Hunter. Each of the four characters in this piece are funny, messy, wounded, and full of layers upon layers- and I hit the lottery with our fantastic cast of actors, who amaze me every rehearsal in bringing these deeply human characters to life. Creative Works of Lancaster is the perfect organization to set a site-specific production of this poignant piece of theater, and we hope that our audiences will enjoy the play's metaphorical (and literal) fireworks.' - Jimmy Damore, director of LEWISTON.
