LCT's 5 Til Places

We are smack dab in the middle of our Youth Artist Guild Summer Camps and this week we thought we’d talk to the kids from the Filmmaking 101 camp, which was led by this show’s own Daniel and Jed. There are plenty more camps still to come all through the end of July so check out the website for a full list and schedule!

This week we sit down with Lighting Technician Miranda Stroble and LCT Technical Director Dean Baker to talk tech, specifically lighting. Here we have an exclusive inside look into a behind the scenes aspect of live theatre that is wildly important but, if it’s being done correctly, you won’t even notice.

We’re closing our season big with the classic horror comedy musical LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS running May 20 – 29 and this week we have our Seymour, Orin, Audrey and Audrey II in the studio with us to give us the inside scoop on putting this incredible show together.

This week Jed and Beth take you behind the scenes of LCT's Costume Collective as they tirelessly assemble two large shows back to back (Little Shop of Horrors opening May 20 and the LCT's Horizon production of Guys & Dolls Jr opening in June).

LCT’s Youth Artist Guild opens “Wizard of Oz: The Deleted Scene” on Friday, May 6 and we’ve got cast and crew in the studio with us to tell you all about it!

LCT’s Youth Artist Guild Summer Camps begin on June 6 and run through July 29 and registration is open now! We’ve got a number of offerings from all over the realm of performing arts ranging from play writing, stage make-up, costuming and auditioning to podcasting, filmmaking and printmaking and this week we sat down with YAG coordinator Mary Kathryn Wilson to tell you all about it.

Dominique Morieseau’s PIPELINE opens this weekend and we've got the cast in the studio with us to talk about this powerful show, it’s themes, and conversations that need to be had. Ths show opens Friday, April 15, and runs through April 24 (no performance on Easter Sunday, the 17th).

We've just announced the 2022 - 23 season of main stage productions and we couldn't be more excited about it. Join us as we go through it show by show (and if you're interested, learn how you can direct! We're accepting director's applications until April 15)!

We sat down with TTU professor Dr. Bryan K. Hotchkins Ph.D. to talk about his book “My Black Is Exhausted” and its themes of navigating racism while being mindful of racial exhaustion. Dr. Hotchkins will be appearing at LCT on April 30 to present from the book and facilitate a conversation and you read the book with us in the MBIE book club beginning April 1 and facilitated by Yssis Hotchkins.

The West Texas Dancing Raiderettes have long been friends to LCT and this week we sat down with WTDR to talk about their upcoming production of The Tale of Cyndi, an original production that puts a spin on a classic fairy tale and marks WTDR's first steps from dance showcase into storytelling with dance.
