October 18, 2009 | Lullaby Moon is a year-long invitation to Seattle to explore a world of dream. A celebration of the night sky, the series of performance events has brought bedtime whimsy and wonder to parks and other public spaces throughout the city, enlivening and enlightening the dark time of each month. Performa...nces have taken place on each new moon for an entire lunar year beginning in October 2008.

Lullaby Moon is supported by Bullivant Houser Bailey, 4Culture's Site Specific Performance Network, the Mayor's Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, Seattle Parks and Recreation, and the wonderful generosity of private donors.

Queen Lucia, it was magnifical, enchantrific, mystupendous.
I apologize. I disappeared from the radar just as randomly as I appeared, but I will cherish the memory of working side by side with you, Bunny, John, Apple and the other wonder workers. I decided to experience it as a spectator and watched it snuggle/bundled ...up with my 4-and-a-half year old granddaughter (she liked the owls best... and the swans). I raise my hands (OK, and a glass) to you for your vision, chutzpah, and yin-yang combo. You, my dear, are a theatrical wonder!!!Read More

We need your help to complete the year-long cycle. Be a part of the Lullaby Moon magic. Contribute to Lucia Neare’s Theatrical Wonders!

I am honored and grateful to offer my Theatrical Wonders to the public free of charge. Since beginning Lullaby Moon last October, we have created 11 large-scale performances across Sea...ttle on a shoestring with significant contributions from the wonderful artists, musicians, and technicians who have donated hundreds of hours to bring the pieces into being. As the work and the audiences have grown commensurately, it has become clear that special fundraising is needed to complete the year-long cycle.

Inspired by the power of love and magic, I am reaching out to those who love Lullaby Moon for support. If you have enjoyed Lullaby Moon or a previous Wonder, please consider giving—any amount is greatly appreciated.

Donations may be made through 4Culture, a tax-exempt public corporation providing cultural programs and a financial supporter of my work. One hundred percent of all donations are tax-deductible and go directly for support of Lullaby Moon.
