Lesser America's WYOMING Begins Tonight


Lesser America is thrilled to announce the upcoming production of Wyoming by Brian Watkins. In 2013, we produced Brian's short piece, 'Study That House' as part of Just Right Just Now. We're elated to have him back, with a biting, brilliant family drama about buried memories of a confounding childhood crime. The play will also feature all three founding Lesser Americans, together on stage for the first time in years.
