Actors Theatre of Indiana (ATI) has partnered with Carmel Clay Public Library to present the first reading of Liars Bench at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14.
Liars Bench is a brand-new musical by Hoosier playwright Julie Lyn Barber and the first program of ATI’s LAB Series for the 2023-2024 season.
Synopsis
A small town carves its identity in a new era in a way that brings unexpected attention to their quaint and curious lives.
A wayward son returns to his hometown with a new appreciation for its uniqueness. The old wooden “Liars Bench” in front of the courthouse is covered with carved names that bring back memories he wants to capture and share with the outside world.
Unfortunately, his plan backfires when the outside world doesn’t see his community in the same light, and the bench becomes a symbol of the past, present and future as the town must come together to figure out how to negotiate a new century that they can no longer hide from.
