The Revlon Girl runs Jan. 13 thru Feb. 5

Lamplighters Community Theatre presents the West Coast premiere of The Revlon Girl, Neil Anthony Docking’s story that follows the 1966 Aberfan Disaster.

The show runs Jan. 13 thru Feb. 5 at the theatre located at 5915 Severin Drive in La Mesa.

Fans of ‘The Crown’ may recall the tale of Aberfan, Wales, and the sadness that befell the town on Oct. 2, 1966. Due to the failure of authorities to implement any valuable safety measures, a pile of coal mine waste developed into a landslide and buried some 144 people. The Pantglas Junior School was right in its path, and 116 children died.

The Revlon Girl explores the process of grief, redemption, and the embracing of what it is to move forward through the tears and laughter of mothers seeking to return to a sense of normality and embrace a different type of future.

Tickets: General admission: $25; Students/Seniors/Military: $22 (group rates available). Tickets may be purchased at: lamplighterslamesa.com or by calling the box office at (619) 303-5092 and leaving a detailed message.

The Revlon Girl contains adult situations and language. This show is best suited for those over the age of 16 and is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.

Lamplighters Community Theatre has had continuous productions in La Mesa for 80+ years. Between the regular season productions, they also support special events, one-act shows, and our theater space is available for rental.
