A Thousand Clowns

Directed for LCCT by Marcus Vickers

Unconventional Murray, uncle and costodian of precocious nephew Nick, is tired of writing cheap comedy gags for Chipper the Chipmunk, a children's television star. Murray finds himself unemployed with plenty of free time in which to pursue his... pursuits...

Lectured by his conventional brother and hounded by "the system," Murray is paid a visit by bickering, uptight social workers, and finds himself solving their problems as well as most of his own.

The Little Sisters of Hoboken are back, bringing us their annual Christmas pageant — and this year, it's being televized live from the basement of Mount St. Helen's Convent! The highlight of the pageant will be an original ballet based on The Nutcracker, along with a "Secret Santa" drawing by Sr. Amnesia.

The nuns you love from Nunsense! are back, along with Fr. Virgil and some of Mt. St. Helens's most talented students!

Shadowlands

February 3 - 19, 2012
by William Nicholson
Directed for LCCT by Patrick Payne

Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. To love is to be vulnerable.

- C. S. Lewis

This drama follows the noted author CS Lewis as he meets his American fan, Joy Gresham, whom he befriends and eventually marries. The story also deals with his struggle with personal pain and grief: Lewis preaches that one should endure suffering with patience but finds that the simple answers he had preached no longer apply when Joy suffers from cancer....

The plot follows Igor, the hunchbacked son of the local undertaker, who yearns to be a doctor.
