Disney's Beauty and the Beast - Opens Thursday, July 24
Presented by the Young People's Workshop

On Friday, July 24, The Young Peoples’ Theatre Workshop will present a full production of Disney’s Beauty and The Beast on stage at Lakeland for a two-weekend run, ending on Sunday, August 3. This show is presented by special arrangement with Music Theatre International, Inc., 421 West 54th Street, New York, New York. This show is great summer entertainment, and perfect for every member of the family. The workshop and the production are sponsored by the Warren County Arts Council, and the music is sponsored by the Halifax County Tourism Authority.

You will be transported to a lovely French provincial town where the beautiful Belle lives with her dotty inventor father. When her father doesn’t return from a trip to the local fair, Belle rushes off to find him, and discovers that he has been taken prisoner in an old castle by a horrible beast. She trades her freedom for his, and “the tale as old as time” begins. Filled with spectacular costumes and unforgettable music, Disney’s Beauty and The Beast offers a great opportunity for a family outing with great entertainment! Directed by Wally and Maria Hurst, Disney’s Beauty and The Beast stars Amber Guttersen, Levi Griffith, and a cast of over 25 talented young people who have participated in the 5-week Young Peoples’ Theatre Workshop at Lakeland Theatre Company. Music direction is by Laurel and Anita Griffith, and the show is choreographed by Amber Guttersen.

Driving Miss Daisy - Opens Friday, August 15

The place is the Deep South, the time 1948, just prior to the civil rights movement. Having recently demolished another car, Daisy Wertham, a rich, sharp-tongued Jewish widow of seventy-two, is informed by her son, Boolie, that henceforth she must rely on the services of a chauffeur. The person he hires for the job is a thoughtful, unemployed black man, Hoke, whom Miss Daisy immediately regards with disdain and who, in turn, is not impressed with his employer's patronizing tone and, he believes, her latent prejudice. In a series of absorbing scenes spanning twenty-five years, the two, despite their mutual differences, grow ever closer to, and more dependent on, each other. A great show that tells a great story.

Fun Day / Comedy Night- Saturday, August 30 only

The Recipe: Start with FOOD and GAMES - PARTY TOWN, then end with a COMEDY NIGHT and you’ve got a FUN DAY.

 

 

Arsenic and Old Lace - Opens Friday, September 26

A comedy hit for at least three generations, and it’s easy to see why: Join us as we meet the charming and innocent old ladies who populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously "acceptable" roomers; the antics of their brother who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and the activities of the other brother— and all the folks who are caught in between!

Fiddler on the Roof - Opens Friday, November 7

In the little village of Anatevka, Tevye, a poor dairyman, tries to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler On The Roof has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. It's universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness. A favorite of Lakeland’s audiences! Come see it and fall in love all over again!
