Port Dover: “Liars at a Funeral” begins at the Lighthouse Festival on July 29

Wednesday, July 8, 2026

Every family has its moments.

Someone brings up the wrong story at dinner. Someone refuses to apologize for something that happened in 1998. Someone insists they are “fine” while aggressively rearranging the potato salad.

But in Liars at a Funeral, the family dysfunction is turned all the way up and you're not going to want to miss it!

Lighthouse Festival’s fourth production of the 2026 summer season is a wildly funny comedy about a family that has drifted apart, a matriarch who has had quite enough of that nonsense, and one truly outrageous plan to bring everyone back together.

Written by Sophia Fabiilli, Liars at a Funeral is packed with sharp comedy, big-hearted mayhem, and a nefarious scheme that will have you howling in your seat.

Don’t miss this hilarious reminder that every family has issues; some just require a casket, a cover story, and a room full of liars to sort them out.

Liars at a Funeral opens in Port Dover July 29 and in Port Colborne on August 19, so get your tickets now at lighthousetheatre.com or call the Box Office at 888-779-7703.
