Lifeline Has New And Improved Faux Bricks
…(and much less train!) Many thanks to Joe Schermoly and Ben Dawson who led the window improvement project in the theater! “What windows?” you ask? The big windows on the east side of our building facing the train tracks. On the inside of the building, those are in our theater space, the one place that […]
(Almost) Naked Man Found In Lifeline’s Basement
Lifeline Production Manager Ben Dawson biked thru the rain to get to work last weekend and thought he was alone in our basement laundry room when he threw his soaked clothes into the dryer. Imagine his surprise when a 20-person tour rounded the corner and came upon him, clad only in his shorts. Tour leader Erica […]
Autumn goings-on
THE NEW YORK FREAKIN’ TIMES calls The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! “One of the best children’s shows of the year. Case closed.” Yowza! This adaptation by ensemble member Robert Kauzlaric (from the book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith) first played at Lifeline in 2007 and has since had productions all over […]

Lifeline’s Mrs. PIggle-Wiggle did a reprise there on both Saturday and Sunday — our first time doing a full show outdoors! Many families who have not yet been to Lifeline were able to see the show. We sold several subscriptions during […]
The Driveway…
…is finished! Well, yes, there’s a still couple of days of setting and watering to come, but we’ve got a new driveway! The staff ran downstairs this afternoon to participate in the Mandatory Handprint Ceremony associated with fresh concrete everywhere… Rob Kauzlaric Marketing Director […]
August Updates
New Driveway! (And a new adventure for our former gates…) Yesterday’s activities at Lifeline were underscored by a jackhammer rhythm and a basso sledgehamer beat. Our flaking, scaling, crumbling driveway is being replaced! The first and most daunting job was prying out a deeply embedded steel post that protruded out of the center of our […]
Building & Busman’s
Building update The expert property-condition-assessment guy said our fine old building is in GREAT SHAPE!! Oh, we need a new roof and some tuck pointing — but it’s not urgent yet so we can save up for that! It was so gratifying that he was wowed by how sturdy we are. We’re perfect for a […]
