Looking for Lilith Theatre Company kicks off their season with a revival of one of their oft-requested original shows, Class of '70, which hasn't been seen in Louisville since its premiere in 2004. Class of '70 is a powerful, fun, challenging play that celebrates the living history of women who came of age on college campuses during the second wave of feminism in the late 60's, based on the words of the women who lived it. During this time, a spirit of liberation gripped the youth of America, and movements such as the Civil Rights Movement and the protest of the war in Vietnam were flourishing. Women were very involved in these political movements, and through fighting to liberate others, women began to seek liberation for themselves. Inspired by the consciousness-raising groups of that time, who believed in the power of sharing stories, LFL collected stories about the exciting personal, social and political changes these women experienced. Audiences described the show as important, awesome, excellent and tremendous and in New York City and in Louisville they nodded their heads, laughed so hard they almost fell out of their chairs, shook their heads with sorrow, tapped their toes to the music and jumped to their feet at the end! Class of '70 is once again relevant as political and social dynamics clash with those freedoms and advances for which our mothers, aunts, and friends stood up. Dates and location:

Join Looking for Lilith Theatre Company and Young Survivors at Vault 1031 on Monday, October 7, 7-9p.m./ This is an evening of wine, sweets and selections from Robin Rice Lichtig's BREAST MONOLOGUES in support of both organizations. All proceeds from the evening will benefit Young Survivors and Looking for Lilith.

Set amongst the shenanigans surrounding 'The Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein's' annual quiche breakfast circa Cold War-era 1956, the title alone (!) begs Kentuckiana audiences to see what The New York Times described as 'raw and magnetic dementia destined to attract a cult following.'
