Grantee Event: The Shelter –
Lily &  Kosmo Live
June 20-30, Check website for times
Connelly Theatre, 220 East 4th Street

This cosmic romp pays homage to the broadcast space operas of the 1950s. With characters voiced on stage by The Shelter’s ensemble, live sound effects, animations and projected illustrations, playwright and director Jonathan Ashley conjures a storybook galaxy that is both nostalgic and entirely new. Join six-year-old space cadets Lily Lupino, Kosmo Kidd, and the Spacetronauts as they skip across the universe and evade the clutches of the sinister Meanman of Morgo. Boldly go where no audience has gone before.

For more information, please visit The Shelter.
