LiLiA!

Libby Skala’s one-woman show LiLiA! is back for an extended run as part of the The New York Solo Play Festival. In this heart-warming tale about the journey of a remarkable woman and the connection between two kindred spirits, Libby Skala plays both herself and her indomitable grandmother. Transforming from one character to another, Ms. Skala tells the true story of the Viennese-born actress who became the first architect in Austria, a stage star in Max Reinhardt’s theater, and finally a Hitler refugee who leaped from New York zipper factory to a career on Broadway, television and film. Portraying their special friendship, Lilia also humorously guides her granddaughter through the perilous waters of being an actress in New York and Hollywood.
