"A delightfully off-key, off-color hymn to clichés we all live by, whether we know it or not." -- New York Times
 
Comedy writers David Sedaris (NPR, Me Talk Pretty One Day) and his sister Amy Sedaris (Comedy Central's "Strangers With Candy") teamed their considerable wits to write this wacky and outrageous parable about the adventures of Sister Elizabeth Donderstock, who is Squeamish and has been her whole life. She makes cheese balls (traditional and smoky) that sustain the existence of her entire religious community, Cluster Haven. However, she feels unappreciated among her Squeamish brethren and decides to try her luck in the outside world.

Directed by Jessika Malone and starring Rachel Agee, Rebekah Durham, Andrea Ridge and Dave Shelter, THE BOOK OF LIZ  is a brilliant send-up sure to delight all recovering fundamentalists.

*In recognition of our challenging economic times, Actors Bridge lowers our ticket prices to $15 and lightens up with an entire season of comedy (a first for us!).

Actors Bridge is theatre for a NEW nashville.
