The play is written and directed by CLC theatre director Dennis Lamberson. Life Is...? focuses on what it means to be different in a society where differences can be misunderstood, feared, and even hated and is based on true life experiences. The cast of 30 is composed of students from the Occupational Skills Program, traditional theatre students and members of the Brainerd area community. Over 80% of the cast have disabilities and range in age from 19 to 84.
There will be an art show and information fair in the Performing Arts Center lobby prior to the performance from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. The artwork displayed is created by Mankato area residents with disabilities and the information booths represent disability related organizations in the community.
