City Lights presents an exciting mix of plays and musicals on the mainstage, along with the Lights & Music Concert Series; the streaming & video series, The Next Stage; and the podcast Filament. Scroll down for photos and video from shows and events. For more information, contact marketing director Rebecca Wallace.

On our mainstage through June 11, 2023: Marisela Treviño Orta’s dreamy, alluring play The River Bride. John R. Lewis directs.

Synopsis: Once upon a time, in a fishing village along the Amazon, there lived two sisters struggling to find their “happily ever after.” Helena is dreading her sister Belmira’s wedding. The groom should have been hers, and she knows her sister wants only to escape to an exciting new life in the city. But three days before the wedding, fishermen pull a mysterious stranger out of the river – a man with no past who offers both sisters an alluring, possibly dangerous future. Brazilian folklore and lyric storytelling blend into a heartrending tale of true love, regret and transformation.
