The show must go on! That’s the stance the LT Theatre Board took this year despite the pandemic. While COVID-19 forced LT to put its traditional musical on hold, options were reinvented and reimagined. Instead of a mainstage production, the Theatre Board put together a digital retrospective of LT musicals from the last 70 years. Show-Stoppers is available on YouTube. Be sure to log in and enjoy the show: Show-Stoppers
