Caterpillar Soup at Santa Monica Playhouse for Benefit
Critically acclaimed one-woman show Caterpillar Soup is returning to Santa Monica for three days only for a 20th anniversary performance Nov 21, 23, and 24.
These performances will benefit our nonprofit 'Help Hope Live' in honor of the play's writer and performer Lyena Strelkoff.
Lyena has been fundraising with us since 2003 for costs related to paralysis not covered by insurance.
Her play is about her own transformation following the fall from a tree that left Lyena, a lifelong dancer, paralyzed.
The play has received ovations across the country and as far away as Alaska.
Lyena's return to the stage now signifies how far she's come, how much the play's themes of resilience and transformation impact all of our lives, and the importance of community support (and financial help) after a spinal cord injury.
