New year, brand-new play.

Experience the world premiere of Vincent Terrell Durham’s “Running After Shadows”!

Running After Shadows

Must close Feb. 8! Morgan Collins is on a culinary journey. But today, as he unboxes his new garlic press live on Instagram, he also opens something unexpected. This box brings him face to face with childhood memories and the pain left by his absentee father. Poignant and funny, this story of human connection was commissioned by City Lights in a series of solo plays by writers in the BIPOC community. Performances are Jan. 22-Feb. 8. (Pictured: Director Aldo Billingslea, City Lights executive artistic director Lisa Mallette, and playwright Vincent Terrell Durham.)

Dial M FOR Murder

Starting March 12! Playwright Jeffrey Hatcher, who wrote City Lights’ 2015 hit Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, now brings us a new version of the mystery that inspired Hitchcock’s masterpiece. Tony is convinced that his wife Margot has been cheating on him with Maxine. Now it seems the affair is over, but in his jealousy Tony spins a web of deception that will ensnare them both in danger, recrimination and murder. In this updated thriller, writes The Times of San Diego, “the pace is quicker, the dialogue is snappier, the women are smarter and more complex. But the motive for murder remains the same.”
