When Social Services arrive on the scene to insure that the nephew is receiving a proper upbringing, he finds himself solving their problems. Eventually, he must go back to work or lose his nephew, or he might marry the social worker. In today's world of job insecurity we can all relate! Featuring favorite LST actor BG Bradley playing the hero who is a perpetual Peter Pan; nevertheless a great father. Monica Nordeen plays the romantic interest...the social worker. Do your options in life seem to be totally selling out or completely dropping out? Enjoy a comedic evening at LST and relate to the free spirit in all of us.

 

Dandelion Cottage

July 18-22  July 25-29

Book by Carroll Watson Rankin; Adaptation by Ron Riekki; Directed by Bobby Glenn Brown
 

Dandelion Cottage is a the story of four young girls who take over a small, deserted home and fix it up for their use as a clubhouse. Four lucky young girls, Bettie, Jeanie, Mabel and Marjory are given the key to a little cottage near the church. They earn the right to use the cottage as their own for a whole summer as long as they pull all of the dandelions from the lawn. After the lawn is cleared, the girls eagerly set to tidying up the cottage and spend hours there refurbishing it and keeping it tidy. The summer was an eventful one in the Northern Michigan village on Lake Superior {Lakeville}. Dandelion Cottage provides a little window into what growing up as a young girl in a Midwestern town was like in the very early twentieth century. It is interesting to contrast the freedom these girls had with the overly scheduled childhood of today. This local story adaptation will warm your heart and bring back wonderful memories.
