Next Up on the Mainstage
Molly Lyons is Anna and David Alexander Johnston is Augie.
Saturday, Aug. 28 matinee at 3:00PM (no evening performance)
"The Standby Lear" is a funny, tender new play by John W. Lowell, critically acclaimed and award-winning author of "The Letters." This is the play's first staging.
The story: An actor playing King Lear has fallen ill. Augie, the understudy, is handed the opportunity to play one of the greatest roles ever written for the stage. Now that the last great opportunity in Augie's long acting career has arrived, is he up to the task, or is it too late?
Mainstage Tickets: $20 General; $18 Military, Senior, Student; and $15 Thursdays and Previews
Listen in to a conversation with the playwright and actors.
Children's Theatre
Written and directed by Richard Gremel
with music by Michael Martinez and choreography by Samantha Cormier
Through August 1
Fridays + Saturdays at 7:00PM and Sundays at 3:00PM
This is our first show for children (and children at heart) to open in the new dedicated indoor Children's Theatre on the Live Theatre Workshop campus. It's going to be fun!
Everyone knows the classic princess stories; you know, the ones that always begin with "Once Upon a Time..." Those classic tales of magic, dreams, fantasy, and true love. But do you think those stories still hold up in today's modern world? Is there still true love and bibbity-bobbity-boos in this age of smartphones and Wi-Fi? Would all those princesses still live happily ever after?
Two narrators battle it out in an attempt to answer these questions. It is "Princess meets Present" when the stories of Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Beauty & the Beast, and Cinderella are given a modern twist and told "Once Upon This Time."
Tickets: $10 for children + $12 for adults
