Theatrical Series

Guys and Dolls In Concert October 22-26
Following the rave reviews for South Pacific in Concert, LTAC brings back the unique ‘in concert’ staging (full orchestra on stage with large cast singing and performing select dialogue) for another look at a classic American musical. The rousing energy of mid-20th century New York City mixes with legendary characters and a dazzling score. The classic tunes come one right after the other, including favorites such as a “A Bushel and a Peck,” “Luck Be A Lady,” “Take Back Your Mink,” “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat,” and “If I Were A Bell.” The romantic and funny story is populated with gangsters and gamblers, missionary dolls and showgirls, and one of the greatest musical scores in the history of American theatre.
Home for the Holidays December 18-24
Your holiday tradition is back with a whole new spin! Join us for an evening of Christmas songs old and new, focusing on singers and musicians bringing the warmth to your holidays with heart and a big dash of verve. Welcome back some of your favorite Toyz and special guests as Home for the Holidays wraps a beautiful bow around your holidays!
The 39 Steps April 2-11
Adapted by Patrick Barlow from the novel by John Buchan from the movie of Alfred Hitchcock
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of screwball comedy and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This Tony award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of four), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance. The New York Times calls it “Absurdly Enjoyable” and the Daily News says it’s “A Dizzy Delight!”
