May 6-22: Alegwasimek 8thlokadin: Abenaki Artists Speak

(The title translates as "how one dreams: a storytelling gathering.") A three-week celebration of Abenaki songs, stories, heritage & culture featuring Abenaki musician & songwriter Bryan Blanchette; Stories, Songs & Drawings performed by Evan Pritchard and Rick Hunt ("the Jimi Hendrix of the Magic Marker"); as well as language workshops, discussions, and lobby exhibits.

June 16-26: Les Filles Du QUOI? written and performed by Abby Paige

Acclaimed Vermont performer Abby Paige, seen in such LNT shows as Judevine and Pride & Prejudice, is an American with French-Canadian roots who immigrates to Canada, a century after her great-grandparents immigrated in the opposite direction. She has questions: What does "francophone" mean? What's the deal with the queen? Why is Jack Kerouac the only Franco-American anyone's ever heard of? Is Céline Dion a witch?? Find out in her new show!

"We're celebrating new plays, new voices, and new beginnings this season because it's more important than ever before to listen to each other as if our lives depended on it. Because they do." - Kim Bent, LNT Founding Artistic Director

July and August - it's Theater FOR Kids BY Kids!a??

During this part of the summer, it's all about our youth programs! Camps, production camps, technical design concentrations, and our two-week musical theater intensive.

July 1, LNT's intermediate students shine in their production of Pushing Up The Sky (directed by Erin Galligan Baldwin). Then, August 12-14th, it's the fully produced musical, Frozen Jr! mounted by our most advanced students (with musical direction and choreography by Patrick Wickliffe and Taryn Noelle, the team who brought us LNT's 2019 Cabaret).

September 8-18: Both Eyes Open: The Annie Oakley Storya??by Jeanne Beckwith

In this entertaining solo (commissioned especially for actor Maura O'Brien - last seen on the LNT stage as Dr. Ruth), playwright Beckwith cracks open the legend to reveal the real lady and her fascinating life. Full of humor, heart-break, sharp wits, and white-knuckled determination, Oakley - who defied death at least three times, sets the record straight.a??

October 6-23 - Stephen Sondheim Revue

We are not yet allowed to announce the specific title, but the music, stories, and patter of Stephen Sondheim will soar on LNT's stage once again. This fabulous revue features the best of the multi-Tony-Winner's work, including songs from Company, Little Night Music, Gypsy, Into the Woods, and West Side Story. Sondheim is one of the best at telling stories, with trademark acerbic wit, style, and intricate wordplay. We are jazzed to bring this Theater Legend's work back to LNT.
