The Frank Theatre Co. presents I Cannot Lie to the Stars That Made Me, a musical audio play.

This adaptation of I Cannot Lie to the Stars is a deeply intimate audio drama, following a grieving young mother as she sings, commiserates and shares stories with her fellow women of colour around a campfire. While centering joy and healing, Stars offers a raw and unflinching meditation on race, class and queer partnerships. Through poignant confessions and original choral music, I Cannot Lie to the Stars celebrates the power of community.
