Lincoln Community Theater forced to pivot
Auditions being held for Arsenic and Old Lace to replace You Can't take it with You

 

[April 26, 2022] 

If the global pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that we all need to be able to redirect or pivot on a moment’s notice. Lincoln Community Theatre is no exception, and hopes you’ll come along for the ride.

Lincoln Community Theatre will hold auditions this week for a replacement play for its June selection.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the originally scheduled play You Can’t Take It With You, slated to be directed by theatre great Phil Funkenbusch, is unable to continue.

LCT thanks Phil and all who auditioned for the original play for their time, effort, and talent.

The LCT board of directors, however, are pleased to announce auditions for the first production of summer 2022 - Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring, directed by LCT board members and local theatre veterans Tim Searby and Brandon Davis.

Arsenic and Old Lace is a dark comedy about two lonely spinsters who use a cocktail on their guests to keep them around a little longer than they bargained for. The cast includes a hero, the love of his life who lives next door, the aunts, a reverend, a doctor, and more.

Production dates are June 23-26, 2022, with rehearsals starting the week of May 9.

Auditions will be held on Saturday, April 30 from 7-9 pm and Sunday, May 1 from 2-5 pm at Northwest School, 506 11th Street, Lincoln.

If you cannot physically attend but are still interested in auditioning, please submit a video audition by 5 pm Sunday, May 1st to [e-mail] or [e-mail].
