November 15 : 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
“What makes Lemonade Blessing work are the ingenious, twisted, hilarious script and direction provided by Chris Merola… It’s whimsically innocent while also being carefully balanced to be hilarious and unnerving. Lemonade Blessing is a surefire hit that is going to delight audiences and is truly an exceptional feature debut. I cannot wait to see what Chris Merola comes up with next.” – Elements of Madness
