Experience life on stage at LCT!

Anyone who ever wanted to act, from those with no experience to the most seasoned actor, is welcome on our stage. Part of what makes LCT successful is the diversity of our participants. Beginning with auditions and ending with the final curtain call, the production team and staff are there to help. Many novices worry about learning all the lines or succumbing to stage fright. Don’t let that stop you! During the weeks of rehearsals, your role and character will become second nature!

Requirements and Expectations

Productions require 5-8 weeks of rehearsal. Cast members rehearse 3-4 hours a night 4 or 5 times a week. There are 8-12 performances, depending on the title and the space that the performance is taking place in.

Perusal Scripts

Perusal scripts are available in the box office. They may be checked out for one week with a $5 refundable deposit.

Characters

Carl

(20s/30s) – the middle brother. Grew up in the shadow of his older brother, Michael, the doctor. He has a little inferiority complex brought on by Michael. He writes a column for the Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper.

Mom

(50s/60s) – Very nice. Always putting on a happy face, her goal is to keep the peace and get through the family event without an incident. Mom’s husband (Carl Sr.), died three years ago. She’s doing her best to get over the loss and keep everyone happy.

Grandma

(70s/80s) –  A real character. Grew up in a one-room house with ten brothers on a farm in North Dakota. Had a very tough life growing up. She is tough as nails and wants everyone else to be too.

Michael

(20s/30s) – The older brother. The doctor. A little nerdy. Wears a bow tie. The favorite son, at least at first. He’s a little self-absorbed, a little blind to what he needs to do to keep his marriage to Jill intact.

Stacy

(20s/30s) – The younger sister. Nice. Kind of wholesome midwestern innocence. Overlooked, but not angry about it.

Uncle Bob

(50s/60s) – A partier. Fun-loving. Has an agenda. Everyone has a crazy Uncle Bob.

Jill

(20s/30s) – Michael’s trophy wife. Emotional from being hormonal. Sometimes a little spacey. The only one who understands Grandma’s crazy sayings. Wants to make her marriage work with Michael if he can prove he loves her.
