The Lionheart Theatre in Historic Norcross premiers the original production In Lieu of Flowers by Atlanta playwright Daphne Mintz, directed by Tanya Caldwell. Performances now through Feb. 13.
There is a mystery brewing at Lionheart Theatre that can only be solved by seeing this premier production of "In Lieu of Flowers."

An artfully worked backdrop portraying the winter scene carries the play visually with other props at a bare minimum. The scenery hosts a whole menagerie of animals from beavers to wolves, rabbits to leopards and less common fawns and unicorns. This tale is carried along by the principal actors. Mr. and Mrs. Beaver help propel the action throughout the story. Aslan, played by Chris Brooks, comes across as a …
