The riveting story of 'Lela & Co' occurs in a country that is not named; it could and, sadly, probably is going on in a number of places.

On Saturday September 16, 2017, Factory 449, a Helen Hayes Award-winning theatre company in residence at Anacostia Arts Center, opened the East Coast premiere of 'Lela & Co.' by Cordelia Lynn. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production, which runs through October 1st, below!

Playwright Cordelia Lynn's is well aware of the intense, yet important journey examined in LELA & CO. "I knew that the play could be horrifying and shocking and upsetting - and all those things you can get out of visual violence, without actually showing it," says Lynn. "I want the audience to leave and think there are things happening that I don't see -- maybe because I don't want to see".
