And What of the Children?

The Broadwater Black Box
6322 Santa Monica Blvd Los Angeles

On the surface, siblings Hannah, Scott, and Bobby appear to have stable, happy lives... except those aren't their real names. For the past decade, they've been living in the Witness Protection Program, hiding from a former life they can never outrun. When the truth about their childhood in Alaska begins to fracture the identities they've carefully constructed, buried trauma resurfaces, and they are forced to confront their role in their family's legacy. Can they overcome the ghosts of the past, or will they be consumed by the tragic cycle of history?

LA Theatrix - Recommended

"...It is a brave and cerebral work with clear ambition. With a more condensed structure and a final moment that lands with greater clarity, 'And What of the Children?' has the potential to deliver an even more powerful and lasting impact."

Stage Raw - Somewhat Recommended

"...This play certainly brings undeniably important and relevant topics to the stage, and to Lisman's credit, I certainly left the theater thinking about the role of the arts in grappling so unapologetically with the darkness of our current society."
