Many TLP fans have often positively commented on the programs provided at our performances.These programs have been created by Board Chairman Jim Cummins. He has also been seen on the TLP stage in a number of shows, including
Arsenic and Old Lace,
The Sunshine Boys, and
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Perhaps even more interesting is that before the artwork of a program is identified the poster design must be crafted.
Collaboration between Cummins and Artistic Director Loran Peterson begins the process with a Cummins inquiry, "What will be the "branding" this time?"
For the current production of
Glorious! Peterson did not have a quick response. An internet search led to numerous poster designs used by theaters in Canada, throughout Europe, and the United States (Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City.)
Glorious! has been seen in theaters worldwide by over two million people.
Many of the existing posters are protected by copyright. The
Glorious! poster design created by the Barn Theatre, Handside Lane, Hertfordshire,
United Kingdom, caught Peterson's eye. He made an immediate call to the box office of the Barn Theatre and initiated an agreement to purchase the rights to the poster, thus the branding was born for this production!
Cummins took it from there and once again TLP has an eye catching, extraordinary poster, branding for this local production, and the means to again achieve "sold out" performances.
And now you know the rest of the story!

Lights..camera..action!
rather..cues..lines..blocking
|
|
The cast and crew of
Glorious! are already into their third week of rehearsals. Director Loran Peterson, with assistance from stage manager, Keely Pearce, are choreographing the blocking of each scene, each line and the resulting action. Blocking is time consuming but the end result is well worth the effort. Not only does blocking help an actor learn his lines, but it also gives the audience a well balanced scene to view the action.
The cast roster includes Rosemary Hajost (Florence Foster Jenkins); Orion Carter (Cosme McMoon); Fred Norris (St. Clair); Lee Carter (Dorothy); Leslie Brenstuhl (Maria); Ashley Arthur (Mrs. Verrinder-Gedge).

The Lancaster Playhouse has officially opened the door to directors everywhere.
Inviting and targeting theater directors in Southeastern and Central Ohio to submit a play they wish to direct in the 2018-2019 or 2019-2020 upcoming seasons.
The Lancaster Playhouse is currently supporting a season of three plays that includes one musical. We are a community theater in rehearsal to complete our third season. Our last show was sold out for all three performances.
As a community theater we are not able to offer compensation for your services. We ask you to provide your expertise and time and we will provide the rest. We provide all licenses, scripts and everything necessary to put on a successful production.
So this is how it works…..
You suggest the story (the name of the play) and your vision (Director’s raison d'etre) or why you want to direct this particular play. Please include your bio with one copy of the script and any additional information necessary for us to review. For example, you wish to precast a particular role, or you are only available for consideration for the 2019-2020 season.
We are not accepting original works at this time.
Our play reading committee will review the suggestions submitted and read the copy of each play submitted. We will review our performance space, schedule and the play’s required needs of lights, props, costumes, casting, musical abilities, etc. Of course, we will keep you informed every step of the way!
We have a 2018-2019 season deadline of June 1,2018 for submissions.
Bring your talents, your dream plays, your vision and become a part of the incredible story that The Lancaster Playhouse is creating!!! Come PLAY with us.
