The Passing of Georgia Dunn

Lebanon Theatre Company is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Georgia Dunn. Georgia was more than a founding member and managing director of LTC. For many of us, she was the heart and soul of this organization (and often its arms, legs, and torso as well).

Georgia was funny, talented, and supremely passionate. She was a mentor and friend to many during her 2 decades with LTC, and her presence here is irreplaceable.

We are forever indebted to Georgia for all of our success, and we will forever carry on in her spirit.

My condolences to her family and friends. She will be missed.

2015-2016 Season Announced by Lebanon Theatre Company

LTC_logoThe season includes:

CURTAINS
Written by Rupert Holmes
Lyrics by Frank Ebb
Music by John Kander
Sep. 25-27 & Oct. 2-4

Directed by Wayne Dunn

Set in Boston, Massachusetts in 1959, CURTIANS follows the fallout when the supremely untalented star of Robbin’ Hood of the Old West is murdered during her opening night curtain call. It is up to Lt. Frank Cioffi, a police detective who moonlights as a musical theatre fan, to save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens. All without getting killed himself. With music by John Kander and lyrics by Frank Ebb, this Tony-winning Broadway classic is not to be missed.

THE WILLOW AND I
By John Patrick
Mar. 11-13 and 18-20

Directed by Karen Oehler

THE WILLOW AND I tells the story of two sisters in 1900, that are in love with the same tall, young man. One of the sisters is frail and gentle. The other robust and assertive. It is the gentle girl that the young man loves but never marries because the other sister threatens to kill herself just before the wedding. The bride’s mind recoils, and for forty years the girl lives in her clock-stopped mind on her summer wedding day. And then, she awakens. Her lover married her sister; they had a son who is very like the father. You may guess whose face she first sees and what it does to her.

MURDERED TO DEATH
by Peter Gordon
May 13-15 & 20-22

Director by Jessica Tucker

MURDERED TO DEATH introduces the inept and bungling Inspector Pratt, who battles against the odds and his own incompetence to solve the murder of the house’s owner. It soon becomes clear that the murderer isn’t finished yet. Will the miscreant be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom or will the audience die laughing first? The first in a trilogy of Agatha Christie spoofs, this hilariously clever whodunit is sure to be a wicked delight.

Auditions Announced for MAN OF LA MANCHA at Lebanon Theatre Company

LTC_logoThe Lebanon Theatre Company has announced dates for auditions for their upcoming production of the classic musical MAN OF LA MANCHA.  The auditions will be held at 7 p.m. on Mon., Mar. 16 and Tues., Mar. 17 at the Mechanic Street Playhouse, 10 S. Mechanic Street, Lebanon, Ohio.

The show’s director, Steven Haines, asks that those auditioning simply prepare a song from the standard musical theatre repertoire (1950’s through 1980’s).  The song does not need to be memorized, and an accompanist will be provided at the audition.  Other songs may be workshopped at the auditions, and scripts for coached scene readings will be available. Those auditioning must be at least 18 years of age and are welcome to come to both of the audition sessions.

Haines is looking to cast an ensemble of 15-18 singing actors who will play the 6 principal characters and the 10+ secondary characters that populate the musical.  The actual production will open on May 8 for a two weekend run of 6 performances.

MAN OF LA MANCHA is a multiple Tony Award-winning musical that vividly imagines the later life of the great Spanish novelist Miguel de Cervantes as he awaits his trial in a dungeon at the height of the Spanish Inquisition.  The musical moves seamlessly between the prison and Cervantes’ own outsized imagination, where his noble idealism finds expression in his greatest literary creation, Don Quixote.  MAN OF LA MANCHA, with a heartfelt score that includes the worldwide hit The Impossible Dream, is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
