Playbook by Pamela Sterling.
Music by Chris Limber.
Based on the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
This joyous story about the growth and blossoming of the earth and the human spirit is a garden of delight for the ears and the imagination. Mary and Colin, whose natures have been badly warped, thrive with the discovery that selflessness opens a secret door to happiness. They are encouraged by the warmhearted Yorkshire maid, Martha, and her brother, Dickon, who understands the language of birds, animals and flowers; the crusty gardener, Ben Weatherstaff; and, of course, the robin who leads Mary to the garden that changes her life. Colin’s reunion with his father touches all of us deeply. Highly theatrical, yet easy to stage, this Distinguished Play Award-winning Secret Garden fills us with the magic of theatre.
Don’t miss this enchanting adventure – get your tickets today and watch the magic grow!

Adapted by Kathryn Schultz Miller.
Based on the book by Washington Irving.
Copyright, 2000, Kathryn Schultz Miller.
Here the spooky classic story by Washington Irving, is presented with all the thrills, chills and laughs that keep young audiences on the edge of their seats.
The storybook tale revolves around the main characters — the bumbling, awkward schoolteacher, Ichabod, the coquettish Katrina and Ichabod’s brutish rival, Brom Bones. As much fun as the play presents, it saves the best for last — the ride of the headless horseman.
This adaptation remains dedicated to the spirit of the original work yet expertly involves young people with lots of suspense and comedy. A perfect Halloween treat, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is exciting family entertainment any time of the year.

Based on the book by E.B. White.
This charming stage adaptation by Joseph Robinette brings to life the adventures of Stuart Little, a clever and courageous mouse born into a New York City family. As Stuart navigates a world much larger than himself – from sailing toy boats in Central Park to searching for his beloved bird friend, Margalo- he teaches us all that size doesn’t measure spirit. Packed with humor, heart, and a dash of daring, Stuart Little is a delightful tale for audiences of all ages. The acting ensemble plays many human and animal roles in a series of delightful scenes that make up the marvelous maneuverings of a mild-mannered mouse trying to survive in a “real people’s world.”
Join Stuart on his larger-than-life journey and get your tickets today!

By Sandra Fenichel Asher and José Casas.
Two neighbors live side-by-side in Texas. A low fence separates their gardens, but much more divides them from each other. One grows flowers; the other raises vegetables. One was born in the U.S., the other in Mexico. One speaks English, the other Spanish. Their differences have kept them so far apart that if one predicts a sunny day, then the other is certain of rain. Even the arrival of a caterpillar causes disagreement—until the resulting mariposa/butterfly, and its eventual departure, unites them in wonder, sadness, and a new understanding of the beautiful world they share.
Welcome to LCT’s Theatre for the Very Young (TVY) show! TVY is theatre specifically created for ages 2-5, and is the perfect place to help your children develop wonder, imagination, and a love for the arts from a young age! In these highly interactive shows, you’re a part of the story and there’s plenty of space to move around and interact with the actors. We also keep the plays shorter (30-45 minutes) and have engaging activities in the lobby for before and after the show.
Don’t miss this beautiful story in full bloom – buy your tickets now and fly with us!
