Over 65 musicals have played upon the
many stages that LCLT has called home.

and the list goes on. Our season opens
this year with a musical revue of some of
our favorite songs and dances from our
past.

This night in September of 1934 is the biggest
in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera
Company – world famous tenor Tito Morelli is
to perform Otello, his greatest role, at the gala
season opener. Saunders, the harried General
Manager, hopes this will put Cleveland on the
cultural map. When Morelli finally arrives--
drunk--it is too late for any rehearsal. What to
do?? Through a hilarious series of mishaps,
mistaken identities, costume changes, and mis-
placed amore, this farce spins out of control
onstage and off.
Directed by Frank Cooper
Performances are 7:30 p.m. (2 p.m. on Sundays).
Performance dates are February 23 - March 10, 2013
This sensational drama brings us the story
of Troy Maxson, a former star of the Negro
baseball leagues who now works as a gar-
bage man in 1957 Pittsburgh. Excluded as a
black man from the major leagues during his
prime, Troy's bitterness takes its toll on his
relationships with his wife and his son, who
now wants his own chance to play ball. Fenc-
es won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and
Tony Award for Best Play in 1987 and the
Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play in
2010.

In the lobby of a rundown hotel so seedy that it
has lost the "e" from its marquee, the residents,
ranging from young to old, from the defiant to the
resigned, meet and talk and interact with each
other during the course of one day. The drama is
of passing events in their lives, of everyday en-
counters and of the human comedy, with conver-
sations often overlapping into a contrapuntal musi-
cal flow. In the resulting mosaic each character
emerges clearly and perceptively defined, and
the sum total of what they are—or wish they
were—becomes a poignant, powerful call to
America to recover lost values and to restore itself
in its own and the world's eyes.
Directed by James Johnson
