SEARCH FOR SIGNS OF INTELLIGENT LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE at Lost Nation Theater

by Jane Wagner for Lily Tomlin! Drama Critics and Tony-Award Winner!

Intimate. Infamous. Incorrigible. LNT's production will star Maura O'Brien and Stoph Scheer!

Through the eyes of a lovable, eccentric sharp-witted “bag lady” with a heart as vast as the cosmos she ponders, Wagner weaves a rich tapestry of interconnected stories.

Full of a host of quirky characters, Search for Signs celebrates a mosaic of humanity in all its beauty, chaos, and contradiction, revealing the invisible threads that connect us all!

Masks are encouraged, not required. (LNT’s State of the Art Bio-Defense Air Purification “Synexis” System is keeping everyone as safe as possible.)
