City Lights' annual Lights Up! festival returns on Saturday, June 14, bringing bold new voices and unforgettable stories to the City Lights stage. This in-person celebration of new works features script-in-hand readings of two powerful plays, plus the Maker Fair, highlighting hand-crafted creations from local artists in our community. This year’s plays: "The Soulmate Play" by Anthony Doan, directed by Jacob Yoder-Schrock (starting at 1 p.m.), and "Helicopter Typhoon Carabao! or To Survive an Apocalypse Now," written by Amanda L. Andrei and directed by Mark Anderson Phillips (5 p.m.). The Maker Fair starts at noon, and will also be open between the readings.
