WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Looking Glass Theatre presents Justine Lambert's original rock musical fairy tale Cardboard Moon, featuring music and lyrics by Ken Nowell. Columbine finds herself in a fantasy world where women think they're men, casual sex has no consequences, and theatrical props are taken as real. As she tries to explain the illusion to those around her, she only succeeds in convincing them of her own insanity. It's fantasy versus realism, and in the end you must choose your own lie.
