Productions for Fall 2022

Occupant
by Edward Albee
directed by Greg Carlisle
Sept. 22-25 and Sept. 29-Oct. 2, LCL Theatre

Unapologetically flamboyant, New York sculptor Louise Nevelson's life was one marked by intrepid artistic triumphs as well as deep inner turmoil. In Edward Albee's "Occupant," both her public accomplishments and private emotional conflicts are thoroughly examined by an unnamed interviewer who questions the posthumous Nevelson with an unabashed scrutiny.

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
by Christopher Durang
directed by Kenzie Gabbard
Nov. 10-13 and 17-20, LCL Theatre

Winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play. Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia share a home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike. Old resentments flare up, eventually leading to threats to sell the house. Also on the scene are sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and a lovely young aspiring actress named Nina, whose prettiness somewhat worries the imperious Masha.

Productions for Spring 2023

Steel Magnolias
by Robert Harling
directed by Ruby Harr
Mar. 23-26 and Mar. 30-Apr. 2, LCL Theatre

In Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, all the ladies who are anybody come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser; an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee; and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby, is about to marry a good ole boy. Filled with hilarious repartee and verbal collisions, the play gets serious in its second act, when Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks a life-threatening pregnancy. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, who draw on their underlying strength and love, special qualities that make them touching, funny, and amiable company in good times and bad.

The Little Company

The Little Company will tour "Mr. E of Imagination: Tales of Edgar Allan Poe" by Vivian Snipes in Spring 2023.
