On our mainstage from March 21 through April 21 is King Liz. Join dynamic sports agent Liz Rico as she battles her way to the top in a man’s world. Even non-sports fans will root for these characters in Fernanda Coppel’s smart drama.

Synopsis: Veteran sports agents know they have to fight to stay on top. If you’re a woman, it’s doubly hard. With an elite client roster and a nearly unbeatable drive, Liz Rico (Damaris Divito) is poised to take over the agency that she’s helped build. Then she takes on high school basketball superstar Freddie Luna (Davied Morales). With his troubled past and a temper as hot as his talent, he could make his career and hers if she can keep things under control. But at what price?

Our 2023-24 season:
Up next in May is Clyde’s, a spicy comedy by Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage. And in summer 2024, it’s time to do the Time Warp again with Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show!

Our 2024-25 season:
The 2024-25 season begins in September with J.B. Priestley’s gripping drama An Inspector Calls, which premiered in 1945 but whose plea for a more just society still strongly resonates today. Next, City Lights brings back Kit Wilder and Jeffrey Bracco’s 2014 hit Truce: A Christmas Wish from the Great War, which commemorates the “Christmas Truce” during World War I. January brings Madhuri Shekar’s In Love and Warcraft, a delightfully raunchy romcom; followed by Agatha Christie’s classic mystery The Mousetrap. In May comes Bekah Brunstetter’s The Cake, a comedy about faith, family and frosting. Then City Lights’ summer 2025 musical is Head Over Heels, a love-affirming tale set to the music of The Go-Go’s.
