LYSISTRATA
By Aristophanes
Adapted and Directed by Will Huddleston
March 20-April 20, 2008
What would it take to put an end to war? How about an end to sex? Aristophanes' classic comedy comes to life in a brand-new, fast-paced and bawdy adaptation commissioned especially for City Lights' 25th Anniversary. In this hilarious battle of the sexes, men and women in compromising political positions duel it out before a side-splitting reconciliation between ages and genders.

A FEW GOOD MEN
By Aaron Sorkin
Directed by Kit Wilder
May 15-June 15, 2008
Written by the creator of The West Wing , this award-winning play about the trial of two Marines accused of killing one of their own at Guantanamo Bay sizzles on stage. Culminating in a riveting courtroom confrontation, A Few Good Men has never been more timely as it asks the question “Who is really in charge—the military, or the people it serves?”

HAIR
Book and Lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado
Music by Galt Macdermot
Directed by Lisa Mallette
July 17-August 24, 2008
Join the tribe, let the sunshine in and live the American tribal love-rock anti-war musical at City Lights! Hair tells the story of a group of young people in New York's East Village who banded together to change the world. Although known as an anthem to the 60s, Hair resonates even now as its depiction of one turbulent era reflects our own.

ANGELS IN AMERICA, PART 2: PERESTROIKA
By Tony Kushner
Directed by Kit Wilder
September 20-October 21, 2007
The conclusion of Kushner's saga of sex, love, religion, and politics in the mid 1980s, Perestroika is, like Part One, a testament to the human spirit. Challenging and uncompromising, the play has been widely heralded as a masterpiece for the ages, a celebration of the power of love and understanding to heal both body and soul.
For mature audiences: language, violence and sexuality.
Featuring: Jason Arias, Julianne Arnall, Gemma Beddo Barozzi, Jeff Clarke, Lance Gardner, Kevin Kirby, Shareen Merriam and Tomas Theriot

Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol
By Tom Mula
Directed by Jeff Clarke
November 15-December 23, 2007
In this funny, irreverent, and highly theatrical story, Jacob Marley is chained and shackled after death, condemned to a hellish eternity. After agreeing to redeem his unredeemable partner Ebenezer Scrooge, Marley begins a journey of laughter, terror, and renewal, during which Scrooge's heart is indeed opened—but not before Marley discovers his own.
Read the reviews in the San Jose Mercury News and Metro!
Featuring: Amanda Folena, James Mantell, Michael Jerome West and Robyn Winslow
BOY GETS GIRL
By Rebecca Gilman
Directed by Ross Nelson
January 17-February 17, 2008
Theresa is a successful New York reporter who loves her work and the life she has made for herself. Tony is attractive, funny—and obsessed with Theresa. As family, friends, and even the authorities prove ever more powerless to help, will Theresa be forced to give up her home, her job, her identity, even her life to escape Tony's unwanted attentions?
Featuring Jason Arias, Rachel Bakker, Ken Boswell, Jeff Clarke, James Mantell, ej Taylor and Melissa Quine.
