"Lilia!" starring Libby Skala was presented tonight. The one-woman show traced Libby's relationship with her grandmother, Lilia Skala, over 20 years. Lilia rose from a penniless immigrant to the Oscar-nominated star of "Lilies of the Field" in 1963 with Sidney Poitier.
|
Libby Skala was inspired to create "Lilia!" after a teacher in New York asked her to talk about something interesting in her life.
|
Lilia was also the first female architect in Austria, although her dream was always to become an actress.
|
Wanamaker Hall provided an intimate setting for the personal show.
|
For the past four years, Libby has been performing her one-woman show.
