Exploring effects of harassment and violence against women, LFL Founder and Co-Artistic Director Shannon Woolley Allison directs Looking for Lilith’s 2018 Women’s History Month production, The Patron Saint of Losing Sleep, by Louisvillian Diana Grisanti. This dynamic feminist piece, written in an unconventional narrative style that mirrors the disruption of insomnia, follows the surreal chaos that ensues when interventions of a sleep-deprived call center rep snowball out of control. Grisanti pulls the audience through a vibrant dream world as she delves into the nightmare of misogyny in various forms. Enter the mind of stressed-out Ada, a real estate call-center rep, who is experiencing a harrowing week due to chronic insomnia as her sleep-addled state spills into every facet of her waking life, both past and present. Director Allison elucidates, “Grisanti’s play raises timely questions about the nature of power dynamics and sexual harassment, and examines how intervening in others’ crises, despite best intentions, can go awry. It addresses these difficult topics in a way that manages to be both playful and resonant.”
This LFL production highlights the talents of several company members. Founder & Co-Artistic Director Trina Fischer, and LFL company members Laura Ellis, Karole Spangler (appearing courtesy AEA) and Ebony Jordan spearhead the cast, joined by Sean Childress and Ke’Leb Beauchamp. The production team includes company members Lindsay Chamberlin (well-known locally for costume design) making her debut as Assistant Director, Jill Marie Schierbaum as Scenic Designer; Holly Stone as Projections/ Graphic Designer; and Ellis as Sound Designer. Returning are Typh Hainer Merwarth as Costume Designer, Martin French as Lighting Designer, and Haydee Canovas as Producer. Stage Manager is Vidalia Unwin.
