LCT's 5 Til Places

This week Jed sat down with Austin Dean Ashford to review the run of BLACK BOOK, take a peek at what’s coming next and in general take a look behind the scenes at how we’re putting all of this together.

Last week you met our Artist In Residence, Austin Dean Ashford. This week he opens his one man show BLACK BOOK. This will be BLACK BOOK’s Lubbock area debut and on this week’s show we sit down with Austin to talk specifically about this award winning and powerful show.

LCT proudly welcomes our first touring Artist in Residence, award winning playwright, actor and musician Austin Dean Ashford! He’s bringing his one man productions BLACK BOOK and (I)SLAND T(RAP) to LCT in January and February, as well as SoloFEST – a masterclass course in solo performance and writing – in March/April. We’ll talk more about those events soon but first we wanted to sit down and help you get to know him.

Last week we spoke to the cast of IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY. In this special bonus episode we take you back to 1947 and talk to their characters, the players of radio WBFR in New York!

This week we sit down with the cast and crew of IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY which takes the classic Holiday tale and reimagines it as a live radio broadcast in 1947. Complete with voice actors covering several parts and foley performers on stage this show seeks to create a truly unique experience from a bygone era. (Stay tuned later this week for a bonus episode where we talk to our voice actors in character!)

We’ve been eager to bring this next show to LCT for a very long time: We sat down with cast and crew members of SHE KILLS MONSTERS, Qui Nguyn’s dramatic comedy of hope, loss, life and recovery (and tabletop roleplaying) which opens this week!  DISCLAIMER: While mostly light, this conversation does touch on some heavy topics and a there’s a little bit of adult language.

We're about to open the second year of our Rocky Horror Picture Show Shadowcast and Jed sat down with a good portion of the cast to hear all about it, what draws people to Rocky Horror, and what this show really means to everyone involved. DISCLAIMER: The discussion may get just a tad racy in a couple of points and there is adult language.

Our youth theatre program LCT Stages returns for another season and we sat down with Summer, Tricia and KeAsia to get the scoop on how your interested young theatre kids can join, what they’ll learn and when they can audition for the first show of the season!

We’re back from Summer break with a new season and we’re kicking it off big with CHICAGO: THE MUSICAL! This week we chat with cast members Beth and Kayla (Mama and Roxy), director Heather and co-lead costumer Jill! CHICAGO runs Aug 26 – Sept 4 at LCT (3101 35th)
