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.

The original script for Frankenstein was written as a children's show performed by Powderhorn Theater Arts about a decade ago. I was drawn to the beautiful, descriptive aspects of the novel. Using no props and little scenery, the production will take you into the world of Victor Frankenstein and his Creature. Your imagination will be challenged as the story unfolds. It's a perfect way to start your Hallowe'en Season!
