Hinton Battle’s Love Lies, the musical “dramedy” about three women who arrive at a funeral, only to discover they were all engaged to the same dead man, kicks off a national tour schedule on April 2-7 in Washington, D.C. at the Warner Theatre.
Hinton has devised a unique community outreach initiative to include participation by local gospel choirs, as much of the play takes place within a church setting.
