LRS Thrive in 2025

Nosejob sells out Philly Fringe! 2 new shows on the horizon. Help us thrive WITH A GIFT TODAY.

Nosejob, The Appointment, Underground Railroad Game: you value the audacious, handcrafted theater works from Lightning Rod Special. Companies like ours are rare animals in the wild, but we thrive because of you. Help us THRIVE.

WHY LRS? We believe in daring and provocative art. Our work is big-hearted and fiercely entertaining. We explode the burning questions of our day.

Here is what’s next:

• A mysterious two-hander about losing our fathers and what dads can’t teach us about late stage capitalism created by Co-Artistic Directors Alice Yorke and Scott R. Sheppard and directed by Sarah Blush.

• An indictment of American mythmaking led by Associate Artistic Director Mason Rosenthal set to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.  

HELP US THRIVE.

MAKE YOUR GIFT TODAY. 

With love and Lightning,

Scott, Alice, Mason and Lightning Rod Special
