Looking for Lilith selected Getting Out for its current season because of its resonance in 2016, almost 40 years after it was written. LFL’s production will explore how pressing issues of the past still resonate with the present, just as Arlene’s past is haunting her present in the play. LFL is delighted to recognize this Louisville native’s decades of accomplishments by revisiting this early award-winning work. Norman’s multiple awards include a Tony award, a Pulitzer prize, and most recently, the William Inge Distinguished Lifetime Achievement in Theatre Award. LFL Co-Artistic Director Shannon Woolley Allison is happy to be directing this important work by one of Louisville's favorite playwrights and says "Recent conversations in our nation about the prison industrial complex, generational poverty, rates of recidivism, and the possibility of restorative justice, make it a rich time to revisit this piece, particularly through the lens of a formerly incarcerated woman.” Getting Out, the first play written by the nationally-acclaimed award-winning Kentucky native Marsha Norman, which premiered at Actors Theatre of Louisville in 1977, closes out LFL's mainstage season in May.
