With performances led by Jared Zirilli (Pretty Filthy), Maddy Trumble (Wicked), Natalie Venetia Belcon (Avenue Q), and Michele Ragusa (Young Frankenstein), LMNOP takes us to the island of Nollop, where chaos arises when letters begin to fall from the town monument and government officials ban them one by one. The community depends on the strength of a determined teenage girl to fight for their freedom of speech. This unique musical reminds us of how precious our liberties are and how important it is to have the courage to stand up for what we believe.
