Queering History 
By Maggie Keenan-Bolger
Directed by Paige Tufford
October 13-15, 2022 @ 8 p.m.

Emma is a quiet, unobtrusive high school student who also happens to be queer. Her high school history class is turned upside down by a visit from her ‘Fairy Queen Godmother,’ Kinsey Scale and his Gaggle of Historical Gays. Written in collaboration with LGBTQIA+ Homeless Youth, Queering History explores how our world might be different if LGBTQIA+ history was taught in our schools. (Staged Reading)


Everybody 
By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
Directed by Andy Callis
November 16-19, 2022 @ 8 p.m.
November 20 @ 2 p.m.

A finalist for the 2018 Pulitzer Prize, this modern riff on the 15th-century morality play Everyman follows Everybody (chosen from amongst the cast by lottery at each performance) as they journey through life’s greatest mystery: the meaning of living. “This is theatre rather unlike anything you might have seen…unusual, unconventional and eye-opening…Everyman is no barrel of laughs, being a morality play about death. EVERYBODY tells the same tale, with equal emotional heft; but it is not only provocative and involving, it is also funny. Wildly funny, in fact.” --Huffington Post.


Do You Feel Anger?
By Mara Nelson-Greenberg
Directed by Paige Tufford
February 22-25, 2023 @ 8 p.m.
February 26 @ 2 p.m.

Sofia was recently hired as an empathy coach at a debt collection agency—and clearly, she has her work cut out for her. These employees can barely identify what an emotion is, much less practice deep, radical compassion for others. And while they painstakingly stumble towards enlightenment, someone keeps mugging Eva in the kitchen. An outrageous comedy about the absurdity—and the danger—of a world where some people’s feelings matter more than others’.


I Knock at the Door 
By Sean O’Casey
Adapted by Paul Shyre
Directed by Andy Callis
March 16-18, 2023 @ 8 p.m.

Similar to Kenneth Branagh's film "Belfast", I Knock at the Door is a story of a family being held together by a loving and strong mother while class and religious turmoil threaten to pull them apart. O'Casey's portraits of his family are deeply sympathetic, and his vivid memories are brought to life with equally vivid language. With Irish Music. (Staged Reading)
​


Tartuffe 
By Molière, translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur
Directed by Kevin O’Callaghan
April 12-15, 2023 @ 8 p.m.
April 16 @ 2 p.m.

The story takes place in the home of the wealthy Orgon, where Tartuffe—a fraud and a pious imposter—has insinuated himself. He succeeds magnificently in winning the respect and devotion of the head of the house, and then tries to marry his daughter and seduce his wife. Denounced and banned by the French government when first produced in the 1660s, Molière’s devilish comedy is perfectly ripe for our times.

Over the Ledge "guests" at Riverwalk

7/5/2022

0 Comments

 
From Over the Ledge Theatre:

On May 20th, the City of Grand Ledge unexpectedly closed our venue, the Ledges Playhouse. We have arranged to present two of our 2022 shows at Riverwalk Theatre instead.  For further updates on the situation, please follow Over the Ledge on Facebook or check our News page. The best and most immediate way you can support us in this time of crisis is to come and see "Songs About Stuff” (July 7-17) and "The Realistic Joneses” (July 28-31) on Riverwalk’s Black Box stage.  We'd like for our volunteers who have worked so hard on these productions to have enthusiastic audiences.
tickets at http://overtheledge.org
or leave a message at 517-318-0579 - and never mind if the recording might still say “trailer park musical” - that’s how long it’s been since the COVID shutdown…  but “the show must go on” — at least, these two new ones!!

Will YOU be a Thespie Judge?

7/1/2022

0 Comments

 
​Are you a theatre groupie? 
Love seeing live theatre but rarely participate onstage/backstage?
We invite you to apply to be a THESPIE JUDGE for 2022-23.

The State Journal Thespie Awards will be published in LSJ SOON  - back from the COVID-gap! They originated forty-ish years ago when there were fewer theatres and more reviewers who worked for the paper. These objective experts (Ty Ross) originated the Thespie Awards, recognizing excellence in local live theatre. This still seems like a good idea - yay THEATRE, but...

Of late, there are fewer/no LSJ reviewers (though we do appreciate Bridgette Redman’s bi-weekly column of previews & news)  so other community judges have tried to fill the Thespie-judge gap. Assorted health challenges are causing some judge retirements.

SO — We invite YOU to apply to be a Thespie Judge!  (Hoping to get “detached” judges who still have theatre experience/expertise, since actor/directors have to recuse themselves from voting on a whole category (musicals; non-musicals) if they directed one - or from voting in any category that involved a show they worked on.) 

The perks: free tickets to about 60 shows a year (no actual $ pay)
The downsides: obligation to SEE and RATE the majority of those 60 shows

Judges devise their own individual point systems to use as tools to come up with up to three “nominees” in each category (lead actor in a play, supporting actress in a musical, best set design, … etc.) Each then brings his/her list of nominees to a year-end meeting with Mike Hughes who directs the voting and prepares the resulting Thespie Article for the Journal. 

If you are interested, please send me an email at JSZussman@gmail.com explaining what you believe would make you a good judge of local community theatre plus Williamston, MSU and LCC. (Not Lebowsky; it’s outside the official “Lansing Area”) Judging will run from July 2022 to June 2023. (I will send a list of shows as soon as I get the GLUT calendar together.)

Looking forward to hearing from YOU!

Romeo and Juliet coming to LCC

Lansing Community College Performing Arts presents Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
Summer Stage under the Stars
Directed and adapted by Kevin O’Callaghan

June 22-26, 2022 @ 7 p.m.
    
LCC Outdoor Amphitheater

Free parking is available at meters on Michigan Avenue and surrounding side streets as well as any available LCC parking lot. 

In Romeo and Juliet, a long feud between the Montague and Capulet families disrupts the city of Verona and causes tragic results for Romeo and Juliet. Revenge, love, and a secret marriage force the young star-crossed lovers to grow up quickly. Contrast and conflict are running themes throughout— one of the Bard's most popular romantic tragedies.

Free – donations to support the Theatre and Dance Scholarship Funds are appreciated.
