LEWISVILLE COMMUNITY THEATRE
ANNOUNCES 2010-11 SEASON GLCT President George Redford
has announced the 28th season lineup. Beginning
with the annual fund-raiser, August 27 to September 5, we will
present the following productions. Check this site regularly for
audition dates and more!
By Wendy Lee Tedmon Directed by Wendy Lee Tedmon August 27-September 5, 2010 An original musical revue, written by a local musician, teacher and arranger. The production features the vocal talents of a small group of fabulous voices performing new arrangements of the music of Broadway, including our favorite standards and the hot new sounds of contemporary theater. This wonderful evening of storytelling through song highlights, with humor and drama, the self absorption of the characters we encounter in our much-loved musicals. Rating: PG Scholarship fundraiser; not included in season ticket price. Conceived for the stage by Steve Cuden and Frank Wildhorn, book and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, music by Frank Wildhorn, based on the story by Robert Louis Stevenson Directed by Sharon Veselic October 15-31, 2010 An evocative musical horror tale of the epic battle between good and evil, Jekyll & Hyde is based on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story about a brilliant doctor whose experiments with human personality create a murderous counterpart. Convinced the cure for his father's mental illness lies in the separation of Man's evil nature from his good, Dr. Henry Jekyll unwittingly unleashes his own dark side, wreaking havoc in the streets of late 19th century London as the savage, maniacal Edward Hyde. Rating: PG By Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, Jamie Wooten Directed by Rich Wiltshire December 3-19, 2010 It's Christmas-time in the small town of Fayro, Texas, and the Futrelle Sisters --Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye -- are not exactly in a festive mood. A cranky Frankie is weeks overdue with her second set of twins. Twink, recently jilted and bitter about it, is in jail for inadvertently burning down half the town. And hot-flash-suffering Honey Raye is desperately trying to keep the Tabernacle of the Lamb's Christmas program from spiraling into chaos. This festive Southern farce pulls out all the stops with squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa, a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator. Rating: PG By Jay Allen, adapted from the novel by Muriel Spark Directed by Kenny Green February 11-27, 2011 Jean Brodie, a teacher in a girls' school in pre-WWII Scotland, is a formidable figure who molds young minds to her form. She is so intensely interesting that her girls admire her above all else. But Miss Brodie is dishonest, setting herself up as a role model while hiding affairs with two male teachers. With her indomitable spirit, she fends off the headmistress's attempt to dismiss her. Eventually, a resentful student turns on her and things begin to unravel. Rating: PG-13 Having Our Say: By Emily Mann, adapted from the book Having Our Say by Sarah L. and A. Elizabeth Delany with Amy Hill Hearth, based on the lives of Sadie and Bessie Delany. Directed by Theresa Farrell April 15-May 1, 2011 Centenarian sisters Sadie and Bessie Delany welcome the audience to their home as they prepare a celebratory dinner in remembrance of their father. They take us on a remarkable journey through the last hundred years of our nation's history, recounting a fascinating series of events and anecdotes drawn from their rich family history and careers as pioneering African-American professionals. From the director of Crowns, this show tells the story of our own history through the eyes of two unforgettable women. Rating: PG Book, music, and lyrics by Jonathan Larson Directed by Bill Kirkley July 8-31, 2011 Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway musical is based loosely on Puccini's opera La Boheme. It follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York's East Village. AIDS and both its physical and emotional complications pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel; Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble; Benjamin has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends; and Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera recording the events but never playing a part. Rating: R for language and adult themes.
