LST 2010 Summer Season

Lake Superior Theatre launches its legendary 12th Season of laughing, listening, loving, lingering, longing and leaping!

It was an amazing year for LST.   First we received the Peter White Award from the Marquette Country History Museum for our preservation and enhancement of history in Marquette County.  Then Marquette was selected as one of the 2010 Distinctive Destinations that offer cultural and recreational experiences different from those found at the typical vacation destination...presenting and preserving our past!  Last but not least the value of our Drama and Dreams Playscape for enhancing the opportunity of Youth, especially special needs Youth,  was recognized with funding! More about that later - stayed tuned for more information. And see you by the fire!

Below you will find a summary of our 2010 plays enjoy

 LAKE STORIES

July   7-11 & July 14-18  Written by B.G. Bradley & Directed by B.G. Bradley, Monica Nordeen, and Rob Shirlin
 

College professor and poet Ben O達rian is down. Way down. All he does is sit on the beach next to a fire and look out at the lake. He痴 been doing so most of the summer, his family is worried even the dog is worried.

So they do what any good U.P. family does in a crisis: they tell stories. Join the O達rian family by a U.P. lake in the summer, sorting out the old stories and inventing some new ones. They値l laugh, they値l cry, they値l remember. Along the way, you may too. Come back home for Lake Stories see you by the fire.

LITTLE WOMEN

July 21-25     Directed by Nikke Nason


LST is honored to be presenting its 12th season this year because of your support.   And the season that starts with Lake Stories has a lot  more to offer.  One of the stories we all read as a child was Little Women. Now this wonderful narrative has been brought to life as an exhilarating  musical filled with glorious music, dancing, and heart.  Little Women embodies the complete thea  trical experience guaranteeing a night filled with laughter, tears, and a lifting of the spirit! The wonderful voices soar with personal discovery, heartache, and hope.  You will love it.

July 28-Aug 1     Directed by Jackie Love (A Vertigo Collaboration)

You will also love the next musical, The Last Five Years - something like a sort of modern I Do I Do.  It is an elegantly crafted chamber musical, in which a couple simultaneously tell the story of their relationship-one from start to finish, the other from finish to start.  With Jeff Spencer and Denise Clark as the talented performers traveling between the ecstasy of hope and the ache of reality this will be a special show as well as our first Vertigo collaboration.

 

 

Aug 4-8 and Aug 11-15     Directed by B .G. Bradley


Saluting our Twelfth Season is the LST presentation of Twelfth Night.  
Twelfth Night will travel through time along the lake with props and costumes from several eras.  It will have a hint of  U.P. magic, lots of comedy,  music, and all the grandeur and wit that Shakespeare provides.  If music be the food of love, play on!  Zaniness, wordplay, melancholy and song as only Shakespeare can do it and as only LST can present it.  A nautical tale set right here on our big lake with a wooden tall ship to set sail on!  A journey through our nautical past and present.  Become a time traveler with the sound of lapping water ever present, right here by our own great lake. BG promises a special surprise for audiences at the beginning of the show which will incorporate the great surroundings that are so much a part of LST.  LST and Twelfth Night...if you love Shakespeare or just love a good time this is the one to catch this summer!

 

 

 

Special Season Addition August 18,19,20  Directed by Rob Engelhart

Our new adventure this year will be a new comic chamber opera written and directed by Rob Engelhart, The Lion, the Slave and the Rodent If you've never been to an opera, don't miss this opportunity. It's in English. It's one act and is based on two Aesop fables. The chamber opera combines two of Aesop's fables - "Androcles and the Lion," the story of an escaped slave who pulls a thorn from the paw of a lion and is later spared by that same lion when they are forced to fight in the arena; and "The Lion and the Mouse," the story of a lion who decides not to eat a mouse that wakes him up from a nap and is later rescued from a hunter's net by that same mouse.  Told entirely through song, the opera contains jokes and humor that can be enjoyed by kids and adults. It also has numerous references to popular musicals, including "West Side Story" and "The Wizard of Oz." And remember that "Even the weak and small may be of help to those much mightier than themselves." 

Lake Superior Theatre has been bringing you live theatre since 1999 in the working boathouse right on the lake for your summer enjoyment.  Historical tourism is the new, best thing and just like that...some 11 years later, we are the latest thing!
