For four consecutive weekends beginning Friday, March 3rd, and running through Saturday, March 25th, WCT presents the world premiere of Lots Wife, a stirring and provocative full-length play at the brand new WCT Performance space.
The play was developed and dramaturged through WCTs ongoing workshop process enabling member actors and writers bring new pieces to life.

From the pages of Genesis, Lot and his family are confronted with the impossible task of identifying ten devout souls to prevent the destruction of their home. Along the way they experience the complications of faith, and learn that the price of survival can be dear. Leavened with humor and humanity, Lot's Wife reimagines the Biblical tale as an Anne Frank like coming of age story.
