The live experience
What reaches the room
Crossing California is a unique artistic property rooted in the literary world. Originally a novel by Adam Langer, first published in 2004 (Riverhead; ebook edition 2005), the material has bridged literature and live theatre. In Chicago, Lifeline Theatre mounted a world-premiere style production inspired by Crossing California, bringing the book’s storytelling to the stage and introducing audiences to a richly drawn world set in 1979–1981. This page provides a detailed biography, discography highlights (where applicable to the performer property), and the latest on touring status for Crossing California.
