Lantern Theatre

Lantern Theatre is a professional theatre company based out of Dana Point, California. Our theatre focuses on experimental, absurdist and post-structuralist works, with the mission of advancing theatre and developing new forms of storytelling for the stage. "City of Dana," our original, made-for-podcast, theatrical comedy series, features stories that take place at the intersection of science and art. The series provides us a chance to showcase various up-and-coming playwrights who share Lantern Theatre's artistic mission: reinventing theatre and expanding the limits of theatrical arts. Aside from our original productions, Lantern Theatre will also be highlighting works from the past, comedies and dramas that we feel are under-performed by other theatres.

"A Comedy of Moralities"
In Sarai's first act as Arbiter, she has decided to place Tuckerson, her former mentor, on trial.

Sarai Gehrood arrives before the Council of Pathetiques and attempts to use the Fox Den's brand of "philosophy" to prove that she is, in fact, the most pathetic member of society.

"A Comedy of Moralities"
The mysterious Council of Pathetiques is suing Sarai Gehrood for every last pig on her late father's farm, forcing her to make a difficult decision: forfeit the riches her father left her, or betray her personal code of ethics and seek the wisdom of The Fox Den's Tuckerson, a philosopher of dubious reputation, who trains the youth of Dana Point to "summon proofs from the aether" and defend their wealth in Dana Point's socially progressive courts.
