broadway AFTER DARK

BY WARD MOREHOUSE III

Special to amNewYork

Designers Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs will present "LILIA!," the acclaimed one-woman show written and starring Libby Skala, on their 140-foot ferry boat docked at Pier 25 in TriBeCA on Aug. 23.  The off-Broadway play is based on Skala's Austrian immigrant grandmother, Lilia Skala, a stage star who fled Hitler, working her way from the zipper factory to an Oscar nomination for "Lilies of the Field." 

Skala told amNewYork "LILIA!" may be done in a series of future dates on board the ferry.
