Lia is playing Rosalind in As You Like It for the 31st season of Shakespeare in the Parking Lot on the Lower East Side to critical acclaim!
“Lia Bonfilio portrays Rosalind as brilliantly as the Bard could have asked for, sliding from playful and giggly with her dear cousin Celia (a vivacious Thammie Laine Quách), to suddenly enamored, to razor-edged woodland wit. Antic and eloquent throughout her turn as “Ganymede,” Bonfilio captures the kind of elevated reality that only lives in a fantastical story like this. Brava.”

“Lia Bonfilio delivered a Helena of remarkable pathos and humor, her laments and longings perfectly calibrated between comic self-pity and genuine heartbreak.”

“Lia Bonfilio made you believe ABSOLUTELY that she had been married to Eddie Carbone for years and was in the middle of this tragedy that she didn’t know how to prevent. I can’t urge you enough to see this production.”
