Lake City Playhouse announces Summer Rep

Running June 18-Aug. 29, 2009 ... a four-musical season in repertory at CdA's community theater: Forever Plaid (for sure), I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change and Tintypes (probably) and Stop the World, I Want To Get Off (possibly). Two men and two women as a resident company, augmented by the cast of the recently successful production of Forever Plaid and other regional performers. Lake City artistic director Brian Doig reports that auditions for the resident company will be in Feb. or March, with regional actor/singers to try out in May.
Six shows a week -- Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 pm, Sundays at 2 pm -- with ticket prices at $18, or $55 for all four shows.
Directors will include Tom Nash, Maria Caprile, Doig, and (possibly) Reed McColm.
"We're going to 11 shows a year, so this is pretty aggressive for us," says Doig. "But for *Nunsense,* our audience figures have jumped, even though the economy is going down."

Auditions for *A Few Good Men* in CdA

Tuesday-Wednesday, Sept. 2-3, at 6:30 pm
at the Harding Family Center, 411 N. 15th St., Coeur d'Alene
for the Oct. 31-Nov. 15 production at Lake City Playhouse
directed by Reed McColm

A rookie lawyer is assigned to defend two Marines on trial for murder of one of their platoon members. He expects a plea bargain, and a coverup of what really happened. But prodded by a female member of his defense team, the lawyer eventually makes a valiant effort to defend his clients and, in doing so, raises the question of what it means to have honor, dignity and humanity in an increasingly complex world.

LCP Artistic Director Brian Doig has invited Marine recruiters to be in the lobby for a production that examines Guantanamo starting just two days before the presidential election.
