The Lipscomb Theatre 2010-11 season:

Join us for another wonderful theater season at Lipscomb University, appropriately named “An Era Exploding”.  With the success of the university's first professional production of John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt this summer, rapid department growth to 50 majors and minors, the hiring of a new full-time design faculty member, renovations taking place in the University Theatre, and newly formed connections with the professional theater scene in Nashville including the new artists-in-reisdence The Blackbird Theater, there are many great things happening in the Lipscomb Theatre Department.

The Glass Menagerie

The Lipscomb University Department of Theatre presented Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie Sept. 24-26 and Oct. 1-3 in Lipscomb’s Shamblin Theatre.

The Glass Menagerie was directed by Beki Baker, education director at the Nashville Shakespeare Festival and an adjunct professor with Lipscomb’s theatre department. Baker most recently served as assistant director for the current production of Love’s Labor’s Lost for Shakespeare in the Park and portrayed Sister James in the Lipscomb production of Doubt: A Parable this past June.

 


Ragtime
Book by Terrence McNally
Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Music by Stephen Flaherty

Ragtime is not only a powerful portrait of life in turn-of-the-century America, but a relevant tale for today. The musical intertwines the stories of three extraordinary families, as they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America.

Chronicles of Narnia:
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
By C.S. Lewis 
 
Come celebrate the Easter weekend with C.S. Lewis' classic allegorical tale of the resurrection story, set in the land of Narnia.  This dramatization faithfully recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion, his struggle with the White Witch, and the adventures of four children who inadvertenly wander from an old wardrobe into the exciting, never-to-be-forgotten Narnia.  The intense action features chases, duels, and escapes as the witch is determined to keep Narnia in her possession and to end the reign of Aslan.  This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life.
