    Super Cowgirl and Mighty Miracle (Primary Grade Levels)

    Six-year-old Cory is sent to live with her grumpy grandma when her Papi must go away for work. But Grandmother Autumn’s house is different: soup for dinner, church on Sundays, and NO DOGS! When Cory meets a stray dog, she secretly takes him right under her grandma’s nose. It’s love at first sight for Cory and positively the last straw for Grandmother Autumn. Will this dog bring this new family together or tear it apart?

     

    Mister E: Tales of Edgar Allan Poe (Intermediate Grade Levels)

    The Tell-Tale Heart. The Fall of the House of Usher. The Cask of Amontillado. The Raven. Edgar Allan Poe’s poems and stories still excite imaginations with images that keep us up long after bedtime: a steely-gray eye gleaming in the darkness, an unceasing call from an unwanted winged visitor, and yearning for love long lost in a castle by the sea. Four actors bring the world of Poe to life and intertwine these stories to keep you on the edge of your seat.

    Aesop's Fables (Primary Grade Levels)

    Slow and steady wins the race. Don’t cry over spilt milk. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. These are just some of the lessons of Aesop’s Fables. With the energy of Saturday morning cartoons, three actors will become a tortoise, a hare, a grasshopper, an ant, a fox, a lion, a mouse, a milkmaid, a goose, and many more right before your very eyes. Learning your lesson has never been such a hoot and a holler.

    Tomás and the Library Lady (Intermediate Grade Levels)

    Tomás can’t sleep. He has a recurring nightmare about being asked to read in front of the class. When his family moves from Texas to Iowa, he meets a librarian who introduces him to the wonderful world of books. Tomás unlocks the secret of reading, and his imagination runs wild from the stories: giant dinosaurs, ferocious tigers, and aliens from space. This is the inspiring true story of Tomás Rivera, who grew up in a migrant worker family, befriended a librarian in Iowa, and learned to love books and the places they took him. Adapted from the well-loved book, this play can be readily understood by both English and Spanish speakers.

  • Please keep in mind that your space will need to meet LCT's Tour Technical Requirements in order for us to be able to perform for you. Most school gymnasiums easily meet these requirements (the most important is that we have a clear, level performance space at least 20' wide x 20' deep x 10' high), but if you have any questions or concerns, please contact sales@lctonstage.org.

  • Schedule Guidelines for One Performance

    On a visit with one performance, our typical schedule looks something like this:

    • 90 minutes before Start Time - Tour Company arrives at venue, load-in begins
    • 15 minutes before Start Time - Students arrive to begin seating so we can start on time
    • START TIME - Performance begins, followed by a Q&A
    • 1 hour after Start Time - Students dismissed
    • 60 minutes after Start Time - Tour Company begins load-out procedures
    • 2 1/2 hours after Start Time - Tour Company departs from school.

    Please keep in mind the length of time the Tour Company will be at your school/venue on either side of the performance, and adjust your performance time accordingly. For example, if you schedule a performance in your School Gym for 1:00pm, the Tour Company will be packing up and moving scenery through the gym until 3:30pm (2 and a half hours after the show time, per the schedule above). And if you need the gym for student dismissal beginning at 2:45pm, that's not going to work out so well!

  • Schedule Guidelines for Two Performances

    On a visit with two performances, our typical schedule looks something like this:

    • 90 minutes before Show #1 Start - Tour Company arrives at venue, load-in begins
    • 15 minutes before 1st Show Start - Students arrive to begin seating so we can start on time
    • SHOW #1 START - Performance #1 begins, followed by a Q&A
    • 1 hour after Show #1 Start - Students dismissed

    At least 30 minutes are needed in between performances to re-set all props and costumes for the beginning of the show. If the first performance begins any later than 9:30am, a lunch break of at least 30 minutes will also need to be added into the schedule, along with an additional 15 minutes for them to get back into costume and seat the next group of students. This means that the 2nd performance can begin no sooner than 90 minutes after the start time of the first show, or 2 hours and 15 minutes after the start time of the first show if it begins later than 9:30am (which necessitates adding a lunch break).

    • 15 minutes before 2nd Show Start - Students arrive to begin seating so we can start on time
    • SHOW #2 START - Performance #2 begins, followed by a Q&A
    • 1 hour after Show #2 Start - Students dismissed
    • 60 minutes after Show #2 Start - Tour Company begins load-out procedures
    • 2 1/2 hours after Show #2 Start - Tour Company departs from school.

    Please keep in mind the length of time the Tour Company will be at your school/venue on either side of the performances, and adjust your performance times accordingly. For example, if you schedule your second performance in the School Gym for 1:00pm, the Tour Company will be packing up and moving scenery through the gym until 3:30pm (2 and a half hours after the second show time, per the schedule above). And if you need the gym for student dismissal beginning at 2:45pm, that's not going to work out so well!

  • Schedule Guidelines for Two Performances WITH A CHANGEOVER

    On a visit with two performances, each of a different production, our typical schedule looks something like this:

    • 90 minutes before Show #1 Start - Tour Company arrives at venue, load-in begins
    • 15 minutes before 1st Show Start - Students arrive to begin seating so we can start on time
    • SHOW #1 START - Performance #1 begins, followed by a Q&A
    • 1 hour after Show #1 Start - Students dismissed

    At least 60 minutes are needed in between performances to change over all props, sets, and costumes for the beginning of the next show. A lunch break of at least 30 minutes will also need to be added into the schedule, along with an additional 15 minutes for the Tour Company to get back into costume and seat the next group of students. This means that the 2nd performance can begin no sooner than 2 hours and 45 minutes after the start time of the first show.

    • 15 minutes before 2nd Show Start - Students arrive to begin seating so we can start on time
    • SHOW #2 START - Performance #2 begins, followed by a Q&A
    • 1 hour after Show #2 Start - Students dismissed
    • 60 minutes after Show #2 Start - Tour Company begins load-out procedures
    • 2 1/2 hours after Show #2 Start - Tour Company departs from school.

    Please keep in mind the length of time the Tour Company will be at your school/venue on either side of the performances, and adjust your performance times accordingly. For example, if you schedule your second performance in the School Gym for 1:00pm, the Tour Company will be packing up and moving scenery through the gym until 3:30pm (2 and a half hours after the second show time, per the schedule above). And if you need the gym for student dismissal beginning at 2:45pm, that's not going to work out so well!
