Fall Semester Drama Performances:

You Can’t Take It with You will be performed in the Performing Arts Center October 8 – 10, at 7:30 p.m. This Pulitzer Prize-winning classic by the team of Kaufman and Hart is perhaps the greatest American comedy ever written. Alice Sycamore must introduce her fiancé’s straight-laced parents to her rather more eccentric, freethinking family. When the wildly different families meet, the worlds of the wealthy, uptight Kirbys and the off-kilter Sycamores collide. At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before we realize that if they are mad, the rest of the world is madder. This wonderfully funny show will delight all audiences.

Nunsense II: The Second Coming by Dan Goggin will be performed November 19 – 21, at 7:30 p.m. in the Black Box Theatre and will be a dessert theatre performance! This show could easily be subtitled “the rest of the story.” The sequel to the international hit musical Nunsense takes place approximately six weeks after the first “benefit performance.” The same five nuns are back on stage at Mt. Saint Helen’s School for what is billed as a “Thank You Program” for their supporters. Since their first time out was such a success, they have decided that they should stick to their successful variety show formula. This hilarious musical dessert theatre is a delight to behold.

TCCSTA State Play Festival entry February 25 – 27, 2016, at 7:30 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center. The production will be announced at a later time. This is the Texas Community College Speech and Theatre Association State Play Festival entry. We will be competing with 11-14 colleges from across the state of Texas. LSC-Tomball has won many superior and best acting awards over the past several years in this contest.

A Night of Short Plays - Plays directed by LSC-Tomball students and written by LSC-Tomball students and various authors. April 21 – 23, 2016, at 7:30 p.m. in Black Box Theatre. This delightful evening highlights the talents of LSC-Tomball students as directors and playwrights. It is always an exciting evening of raw talent that is a must see by audiences.

Anything Goes All aboard for this saucy and splendid production of Anything Goes, winner of three 2011 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and Choreography! One of the greatest musicals in theater history, Cole Porter’s first-class musical comedy is a shining example of classic musical theatre with amazing dance number, campy jokes, and happy endings. Peppering this timeless classic are some of musical theatre’s most memorable standards, including “I Get A Kick Out Of You,” “You’re the Top,” and of course, “Anything Goes.” Don’t miss what the AP exclaims as, “So DELIGHTFUL, So DELICIOUS, So DE-LOVELY!” July 14 – 16, 2016, at 7:30 p.m. July 17, 2016 at 2 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center.
