A Dickens' Christmas Carol
December 5 - 21, 2008

by Mark Landon Smith
Directed for LCCT by Les Boyse
The Styckes Upon Thump Repertory Company
embarks on their fifteenth annual tour of the Dickens classic. When
the company's diva feigns illness, certain the production will be
canceled, this merry troupe of over the hill and upstart actors carry
on without her. Roles are shuffled and the sweet understudy suddenly
finds herself on stage knowing only one line of dialogue. She has
written her part in and on almost everything, including the Christmas
pudding!

Leading Ladies
April 10 - 26, 2009
|
by Ken Ludwig
Directed for LCCT by Ceil Herman
Two English Shakespearean actors find themselves
so down on their luck that they are performing Scenes from
Shakespeare on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of
Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York, PA is about to
die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they
resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the
cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the
relatives aren't nephews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements abound,
especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old
lady's vivacious niece, Meg, who's engaged to the local minister. Meg
knows that there's a wide world out there, but it's not until she
meets "Maxine and Stephanie" that she finally gets a taste of it.
