Lyle
Finds His Mother, a world premiere musical based on the beloved children’s
book Bernard Waber, adapted by Jessica
Wright Buha, with music and lyrics by Michael
James Brooks, and directed by Lifeline Theatre Artistic Director Dorothy Milne. Lyle loves his life with
the Primms in the house on East 88th Street. But everything changes when Hector
P. Valenti, Star of Stage and Screen, returns with an offer to take Lyle to
meet his mother in the land of the crocodile. Should Lyle trust the devious
showman? And will his adopted family understand his desire to meet his birth
mother? Travel the world on a journey of hilarity and heart in this world
premiere musical for the entire family. This production is recommended for
children ages five and up (children under two not permitted), and runs one hour
with no intermission. The book will be on sale in the lobby.
