IN 1982, a group of theater people saw a need for great theater productions in the Corcoran neighborhood, so Corcoran Park Players was established and staged productions from 1982-2016. Following our tenure at Corcoran Park, we played in assorted other venues in the Twin Cities. 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.

Keeping You in the know!
Something Wicked This Way Comes
You have two more performances to see Classics Lost ‘N’ Found Theater Company’s
exceptionally good production of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth and if you miss it, you’ve
made a big mistake. Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s most difficult plays to present, for
various reasons, but co-directors Noreen K. Brandt and Greg Bastien have outdone them-
selves. Never has the performance space at Lake Nokomis Presbyterian Church been
so alive with vivid color (thanks to Brandt’s costumes) and the exciting story, dialogue and
action of Shakespeare’s Scottish play.
Kudos to the talented cast of 27, who keep things moving, with standout performances by
Eric Sorum, who’s commanding performance in the title role is one of the finest ever seen
on this stage. He’s easily matched by Selma Petterson as Lady Macbeth; Spenser P. Lilla
as Malcolm, the witches: Meagan Kellom, Michael Dodson, Jessica Szuminski and Beva
L. Steinberg; Frank Blomgren as Banquo and many others.
Among the standout moments in this play are the opening sequence including the witches’
scene; the clever manner in which the Burnham Wood scene has been staged and this
production features the Banquo’s Ghost scene staged in such a remarkable way. Never have
I ever seen it done better. The succession of Scottish rulers scene was beautifully staged as
well. (I have a ruler with the list of Scottish Rulers and pulled it out of the drawer when I got
home. Macbeth ruled for 17 years, followed briefly by Lulach and then Malcolm III).
Classics Lost ‘N’ Found Theater Company’s production of Macbeth continues tonight,
November 16 at 7pm, followed by performances at 7pm on 22 and 23. The theater is located
at 1620 E. 46th Street. There’s plenty of parking on the street and in the parking lot opposite
the Church.
Seen at right: Selma Petterson as Lady Macbeth.
