Hello, everyone. In case you haven’t heard, I am no longer with LCA. You can find more information about me on my personal site or my artist page on Facebook. This site will remain up at least another year or so to allow people access to photos from past shows.

LCA’s Images Theatre Club is now under the direction of Gretchen Wilkins, in whom I have great confidence. Several of my former production team have stayed on to help her. This year’s production is Willy Wonka, JR. Mrs. Wilkins has the ability to post messages on this site; hopefully, you will see information about the upcoming show soon. Please welcome her wholeheartedly. She has a large task before her and has been doing an amazing job.

Keep an eye open. We have added a new page to our website to specifically help the cast and crew get ready for the show. Ticket information will be coming soon. In the meantime, come out to our Fine Arts Recital for students who have been taking music, dance, and/or voice lessons. The event is scheduled for Saturday, March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day) at 2pm in the Fountain of Life auditorium. There will be a reception afterwards.

We are so excited to work on a Music Theatre International (MTI) production this year. Seussical the Musical is a wonderful combination of Dr. Seuss stories and song. The way it is woven together, you would think Dr. Seuss intended all of his stories to be combined into one fabulous adventurous tale. We will be doing the junior (JR) version of the show, which means the show runs about 90 minutes without intermission. Save the dates: May 4 and 5.

Anticipation is mounting…

We are a month away from this year’s production, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The students have been working diligently in preparation for our three performances (including most of the actors and some of the crew taking a three-hour stage combat workshop with the president of Speech Theatre Association of NJ, Chuck Miller). This year we have added new layers in which the students have been able to participate. Both the graphic design and costuming classes are preparing items for the show. We have student marketing, makeup, and hair teams. The after school music production group, Life Music, is working on scene change music. With all those involved, there are almost 60 students between sixth and twelfth grades involved. That is almost a third of the whole upper school. The actual performances will be completely run by the students.

We have also added new people to our adult production staff, including:

Production Manager–Michael Wilkins

Set Designer–Bobby Parker

Graphic Design Consultant–Lina Navas

Make-Up Designer–Laura Ceresini

Concession Coordinator–Jennie Higginbotham

**Student Costume Designer and Costumer–Hannah Yeretzian**

Show dates are:

Friday, May 19th at 7pm

Saturday, May 20th at 11am and 3pm

Tickets are already available online at LCA’s BookTix page.
