THE LOOK OF LOVE: Music by Burt Bacharach and Hal David on Jan. 10-18

LTC_logoIf you were a music lover in the 60s and 70s, you probably listened to songs written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.  These two writers composed music for many movies (“Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head”) as well as many of the popular singers of the time (Dionne Warwick and others).

The THE LOOK OF LOVE, a musical revue featuring the music of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, features these songs and many others.

The THE LOOK OF LOVE opens on Sat., Jan. 10 as part of the Lebanon Theatre Company’s Red Carpet Gala Fundraiser.  The fundraiser begins at 6 p.m. at the Golden Lamb in Lebanon.  Guests will enter by an ice sculpture on a red carpet to wine tasting with food pairings and the Lamb’s famous sauerkraut balls.  The first course is Seared Scallop, Thai Chili Risotto, and Julienne Green Apple. The entree is a duo of Warren County Beef, Braised with Cabernet & Seared Medium, Madeira Wine & Black Truffles.

After dinner, guests will come to the Mechanic Street Playhouse for the revue as well as desserts.  Gala tickets are $90 each and can be reserved by calling (513) 228-0932 or ordering online at LTCplays.com.

On Jan. 16, and 17 at 8 p.m. and Jan. 18 at 2 p.m., LTC will present the revue only at the Mechanic Street Playhouse.  Tickets for those performances are $19 each.

For further information, call (513) 228-0932 or online (LTCplays.com).

A CHRISTMAS CHAOS Runs Dec. 4-7

LTC_A Christmas ChaosA CHRISTMAS CHAOS
Presented by Lebanon Theatre Company
Dec. 4-7
Lebanon

Directed by Jessica Tucker
Produced by Kat Andrews

Gadzooks! The Royal Shakespeare Company hasn’t arrived as promised to perform their stirring rendition of “A Christmas Carol.” So our intrepid band of hapless actors and technicians must put together their own production in only seven hours! What a pity that they are not quite up to the task, even though they give it their all. Have you ever experienced backstage mayhem? Well, you haven’t seen anything yet! The play focuses on these poor but dedicated thespians doing their best while chaos is all around them: two kids fighting over who gets to play Tiny Tim, a confused actor who thinks she’s in another show, a haughty lead actor, one actor playing both Bob and Mrs. Cratchit, an out-of-control director, thrown together props and costumes, ridiculous scenery, and tons of flubs and confusion. Most of the actors in the show play multiple roles in this extremely fast-paced and physical comedy. Even the light and sound board operators are characters in the show! The play is a hilarious backstage comedy that pokes fun at the classic novel and everything that can go wrong with a theatrical production.

  • Thu-Fri, Dec. 4-5 at 7pm

LTC Seeks Directors for 2015-2016 Season

LTC_logoThe artistic committee of Lebanon Theatre Company would like to invite you to meet with us Saturday September 20, 2014, 8 a.m.- 12 pm, to give us a pitch for shows you might like to direct for our 2015-2016 theatrical season.The pitch should include brief description of the play(s) or musical play(s) and a view of how it would fit in with the LTC standard and sensibilities. You might consider the cast requirements, special settings, costumes or other aspects that would give the committee a better idea of how the show would play out (pun intended).

So if you are willing to chat with us about a show or shows that you have a passion for, get your ideas together and contact me to set up an appointment.

We have been tossing titles around in our discussions. You may want to consider one of these, but they are only suggestions.  We will entertain proposals for any show that you care to present to us.  These are the ones raised so far: Heaven Can Wait, The Sting, God’s Favorite, Murder on the Orient Express, and Web of Murder.  Our shows have traditionally been in September, March, and May for the main stage season.In addition, we are considering a Christmas show that would preferably involve children in the cast. As examples, in the past we have presented A Christmas Chaos, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and Eeyore’s Christmas.

Please reply to jesstuck73@yahoo.com to let us know if you can make the September 20 date.  Please include the 30 minute time slot that you would prefer, as well as a backup time.  If that date is not possible, please let us know and we will attempt to find an alternative time for you.

MOON OVER THE BREWERY Runs Sept. 12-21

LTC_Moon Over BreweryMOON OVER THE BREWERY
Presented by Lebanon Theatre Company
Sept. 12-21
Lebanon 

Directed by Matthew Smith

Cast: Rachel Wilson as Miriam Lipsky, Alyssa Mehnert as Amanda Lipsky, Jay Fultz as Warren Zimmerman & David Stone as Randolph

A touching, gently humorous study of a precocious teenager’s “coming of age,” in which fantasy and reality are deftly juxtaposed to heighten the affecting message of the play. Miriam Lipsky, unmarried and living with her thirteen-year-old daughter, Amanda, works as a waitress to pay the bills, but it is her painting that really matters to her. Good subjects are scarce in the drab Pennsylvania coal town where they live, so Miriam dons a miner’s lamp and paints at night, when moonlight softens and transforms the stark landscape. Miriam is also desirous of male companionship, a need which the precocious Amanda (she has an IQ of 160) has discouraged by driving away suitor after suitor with her barbed comments. Amanda, compensating for the lack of a father, has also created an imaginary friend, Randolph, who appears (only to her) in a resplendent white suit and provides mischievous advice and guidance.
