Nick Cearley, recently seen at, and soon to return  to, Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati in NEXT TO NORMAL needs your help.

His one-man musical, AND THEN I WROTE A SONG ABOUT IT, is slated to open in July at the Marjorie S Deane Little Theatre. Off Broadway. They had an unfortunate incident happen with a major investor and have been set back a bit. However, all the funds have been raised but what looks to be the final $15,000, so the producers have decided to start a kickstarter to raise the final amount through fundraising. Nick is trying to get the word out because literally, if the final amounts are raised on Kickstarter, dreams come true for alot of people.

Here is the link to the Kickstarter page. You can find a video preview and more information below. Donations can be as little as $1. Please share with anyone who might be interested.

LTC Announces Bob Fritzsch Memorial

Our upcoming production of ANGEL STREET by Patrick Hamilton will be a very special one for Lebanon Theatre Company. Our long-time set designer Bob Fritzsch passed away last December, but before his death, he had designed the set for ANGEL STREET. As a tribute to Bob, our May 12 performance will include a special presentation to his family and the unveiling of a permanent display of his set designs. We look forward to both weekends of the show which will be performed in his honor.

If any of the many groups that Bob designed for throughout his career would like to donate to this permanent display, we would appreciate it. The display is going to cost between $1500 and $2000. Any group (or individual) that donates will be acknowledged in the exhibit.

Questions? Contact us by email: ltc@ltcplays.com or phone 513.228.0932.
