Seeing a need for great theater in the Corcoran neighborhood, Corcoran Park Players was established and staged productions from 1982-2016. After our tenure at Corcoran Park, we played in assorted other venues. After 35 years, in 2017, we renamed our organization, Classics Lost 'n' Found Theater Company to continue providing great theater to local audiences. We've still producing while other theaters are long gone. When you see a CLFTC production, you see what we're all about.
