Life Theatre Company was founded in 2011 by Zoi Gianneas along with collaborators Sean Flaherty, Erica Imparato, Sean Mehlbaum, Tyler Hoffman, Jamie Soltis, and Kate Nelson. All seven artists were close friends and fellow Theatre Majors at West Chester University and loved working together so much that they wanted to create something of their own.
LTC debuted their first cabaret “Hear To Stay” in the SkyBox at the Adrienne in March 2012 and recently performed a series of 4 original cabarets at the PlayGround at the Adrienne from February until June 2013. They are very excited to be back in the SkyBox again this September 18-22 to present their first full production of Bat Boy: The Musical as part of the 2013 Philly FringeArts Festival.
