The Lyons: A Morbid, Yet Light-hearted Tale

As Ben Lyons rests on his deathbed in a hospital, his family gathers around him— but what happens next is a far cry from a sappy plot of family togetherness. Instead, Ben takes his last moments to tell his family how he really feels. Dark, and funny, The Lyons first premiered as an Off-Broadway play in 2011, and then quickly hit the Broadway stage in 2012. This dysfunctional family hit is The Village After Dark’s first staged reading of the year.

8pm Friday April 1 and Saturday, April 2. $10.
