THE LONELY DEATH OF L. HARRIS at Cook Theater at the FSU Center for Performing Arts

The Improvisational Repertory Theatre Ensemble (IRTE) and Squeaky Wheel Theatre Group Present:

THE LONELY DEATH OF L. HARRIS at the 2024 Squeaky Wheel Fringe Festival

L. Harris is dead, alone and unseen in a NYC apartment with no next of kin and no mourners. Join IRTE in their latest serio-comedy as they piece together the clues and secrets of a life unnoticed, improvising a fitting obituary. Are any of us truly knowable? Is identity immutable? Or are we the sum of others’ perceptions?
