SOUTHERN   BROADWAY

If you've ever laughed, cried, or sat on the edge of your seat during a Southern Broadway production, you've experienced the storytelling of Lydia Dillingham. As the playwright behind more than 45 original productions staged at Southern Broadway Dinner Theater, Lydia has built a reputation for crafting unforgettable characters and storylines packed with suspense and charm.

​

Now, Lydia is turning the page—literally.
 

She is currently working on a series of novels inspired by her popular legal thrillers, including Juror #7, Hostile Witness, The Billboard Lawyer, and Veiled Justice. These novels will expand on the dramatic world and characters that captivated Southern Broadway audiences, bringing them to life in a new medium for readers everywhere.

​

Set in the 1990s in the fictitious Carver County, Alabama, the book series will follow the journeys of the well-loved characters Lindsey Walker and Jodi Pender.  Lindsey was first introduced on the stage of Southern Broadway as a determined third-year law student who then began navigating the challenges of courtroom justice with grit, grace, and a sharp moral compass. Jodi Pender, Lindsey’s childhood friend, soon became an indispensable part of Lindsey’s legal team as her investigator and assistant, bringing spot-on instincts, courage, and unwavering loyalty. 

​

Through the novels you’ll see these two strong characters anchor the stories, reminding readers that justice isn’t just about the law, it’s about people.  Their bravery, struggles, laughter, victories, and heart.  Because whether it’s a gripping courtroom showdown or an intimate look into the unforgettable characters she brings to life, Lydia’s novels draw readers into a world where justice is never simple, the stakes are deeply personal, and every decision matters, all tempered with moments of warmth and lighthearted humor.
