Do you have YOUR tickets yet?
The Friday night October 20 performance is almost sold out but there are still plenty of good seats available for the matinee October 21 at 2pm, as well as the evening performance at 7pm. Rumor has it that the Pumpkin Show is a "must see" in the area October 21. Just a reminder that Circleville is only a 20 minute drive from Lancaster.

Consider making it a double decker Saturday for yourselves. Plan your day around the Pumpkin Show AND The Lancaster Playhouse.

Coming to the theatre also makes a great Saturday "date night' outing. Tickets are $16.00. Order your tickets online now or call the Box Office (740)-974-6648.

TLP's First Drama
The 10 member cast for TLP's first production of its third season comes from five different local communities and seven actors are first timers on the TLP stage. This is the first drama presented by TLP. Past productions included musicals, comedies and the One Act Play Festival.

Cast members were asked a series of questions including to describe themselves in one word, what they found most challenging with this production, and some prior credits.

To see previously released blasts with the actor's comments, go to the Recent News on the TLP website. The most current blasts are at the top of the list.

Set Design Creates the Mood
The set designer for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Loran Peterson, wants the audience to experience a luxurious London townhouse, circa 1910, but with a twist of fantasy. To achieve this, Peterson found antique, grand fret work to be used above the entrance hall, created a large French door leading to a beautiful garden, and will place a massive marble mantel to anchor the set in architectural reality.

The carpet found in an early Ohio opera house and the red velvet furniture perfectly highlight the opulence of Dr. Jekyll's home.

But this is where reality ends!

Walls of ten foot draperies perfectly add a haunting effect to this set. Peterson wishes you to delight in the outcome of his imagination.
The face behind the box...office that is
When original TLP board member and ticket manager Kathy Rea moved out of the area, The Lancaster Playhouse cast its net for her replacement. While board member Ricki Chenault moved into the Treasurer position, finding someone to take over the Box Office responsibilities presented a challenge. DeeAnn Martin stepped forward to fill that Box Office position. Martin is a capable volunteer with a wealth of volunteer experience.

She and Ed moved to Lancaster to settle into retirement. Martin has been volunteering with various organizations since 2006. She serves as president of the Fairfield County Homemaker Association as well as being a member of the Greencastle Homemakers. Active also in the Fairfield Heritage Association, she volunteered in the FHA gift shop and helped with one of the Garden Tours.

Martin has enjoyed taking the master gardener and Ohio certified naturalist programs and loves volunteering in that outdoor arena.She claims her favorite volunteer experience is with The Decorative Art Center of Ohio, serving on the board there, and serving as a docent on Friday afternoons.

The Lancaster Playhouse is pleased that Martin chose TLP as another outlet for her volunteering nature. She is happy to talk to you about your ticket needs and answer any questions you might have.

TLP welcomes DeeAnn Martin to the Box Office and is happy she chose to "come PLAY with us."
