October 30, 2021 - THE LION IN WINTER directed by BIZZY BAREFOOT

The month of October traditionally marks the end of the LPV program season. This “comeback year” corresponds with the celebration of Allied Productions’ 40th anniversary presenting

The Lion In Winter at Green Oasis Community Garden  370 East 8th St (Mid-Block Between Avenues C & D) Saturday, October 30th  8PM - 10PM

We are THRILLED to announce a cornerstone of our partnership with neighboring community gardens in the live theatrical performance of James Goodman’s original 1966 play directed by LPV veteran Bizzy Barefoot. The play was most popularized by 1968 movie Directed by Anthony Harvey starring Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins, John Castle and the screen debut of a pre James Bond Timothy Dalton. Layered upon the pageantry and camp of the celebrated film is Bizzy’s conception of the LPV presentation in an entirely queer cast and concept. Suggested Donation $20.00 No one turned away for lack of funds
