THE 2008 - 2009 SEASON

JOSEPH & THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT

March 13-15 & March 21-22, 2009

Directed by Wess Hughes

Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a colorful retelling of the Biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors found in the book of Genesis. Told through a narrator with a goal for encouraging children of all ages to dream, it was Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's first staged musical and is still the most produced of all his shows.

This modern musical features a fun score with songs ranging from a country and western hoe-down and an Elvis blue-suede shoes number to a spoof of French ballads and a rousing 1970's disco production number.

LLT set an attendance record when we first presented Joseph back in the mid 1990's, so we're excited to offer the show to the Pine Belt audiences once again. Director Wess Hughes is back in town to work with music director Sue Bush, choreographer Jennifer Odom and a huge cast to dazzle audiences with this family classic guaranteed to leave you smiling and humming the show's score for weeks!

THE WOMEN

May 21-24, 2009

Directed by Cynthia Welborn

The classic comedy The Women was written by Clare Booth Luce and opened on Broadway in 1936. It was later made into a hit film in 1939 starring Joan Fontaine, Rosalind Russell, Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford. Several successful revivals have graced the Broadway stages over the decades since then and a remake of the movie came out this year with award winning actresses Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Candice Bergen, Debra Messing and Jada Pinkett Smith.

LLT first presented a production with a local all-star cast back in 1963 and we're excited to be bringing it back one more time. The play is a wisecracking social satire about the lives of socialite friends featuring an entirely female cast of over 30 women. Come hear what all the gossip is about and watch the hilarity ensue with The Women!

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL

July 30-31 & August 1-5, 2009

Directed by Juna Broome

Disney Channel's smash hit musical comes to life on the LLT stage! On the front steps of East High, it's the first day after winter break and the Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes find their cliques and discover that life takes twists and turns that they had never expected.

High School Musical is a modern updated show for the whole family to see. All of the songs everyone loves from the movie will keep you toe tapping and bring your thoughts back to your days of high school drama.
