UPCOMING!!!

---

Classics Lost 'n' Found Theater Company is a local community theater celebrating its 10th year in 2026!!!  Many of the founders of our theater were long time members of our previous theater (Corcoran Park Players established in 1982).  In 2017, we made the decision to rename our theater, and dedicate our group to performing classical playwrights and original scripts with a classic bent.  

Our annual summer  shows brave the elements  (rain/heat/the annoying ice cream truck jingling during a pivotal scene) while we present our shows to adoring crowds at Nokomis Park. This summer:  MISS ROBIN HOOD AND HER MERRY BAND OF THIEVES (written by Noreen Brandt), and MACBETH THE OPPOSITIONAL KING 

(think of MacBeth as a slacker with a nagging wife who does all the dirty work) written by Greg Bastien.  Get the mosquito spray out now!  The dates and times for the shows (performed together) are 7 pm Fridays/Saturdays July 10-11, and 17-18, with 2 pm matinees on July 11th and 18th.

Shows are FREE - and performed outdoors at Nokomis Park in Minneapolis.

No, not soon to start thinking about our 2027 season!   We will be doing FOUR mainstage shows next year - spring/summer/fall/winter.  At least two of the shows will be original scripts - already forming madly in the director/playwright's minds - and two will be shows by classical playwrights.  We will be announcing our 2027 season this fall - so stay tuned!

We just finished our spring class - "Theater 101", and are looking forward to TWO exciting classes this fall:  (1) a six week "Actor's Workshop" Saturdays 9-19 thru 10-24, with an optional performance on Sunday 10-15 at 2 pm.   The class will be taught by Barcy Stricker, and will be 10 am to 11:30 am.  Cost is $30, which is payable at the first class. (2)  a one-day (probably 4  hour makeup seminar on Halloween make-up, taught by Beva Steinberg date and times to be announced shortly.

NO down time for this busy group of actors!  Once our annual summer production ends in July, we will be working on a FASTfest script for Minnesota Association of Community Theater's short play festival performing August 22nd at Theater-in-the-Round in Minneapolis.  Our entry is "Building a Better Mousetrap", an original script by Noreen K. Brandt, to be directed by Greg Bastien.  The cast is:  Stephen Greenhalgh, Daniel L. Dyke, Greg Bastien, and Coral Bastien.  This is a one day festival - you can see 15 short plays for $35!!  View the MACT website for more info.

No, not THAT royal family!  Our 2026 fall production will be another classic comedy - THE ROYAL FAMILY - by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber.  See what ensures when a star-struck, swash-buckling, and over-the-top acting family has to make a rough transition to reality in this 1920's romp!  The dates for the show are November 6-7, 13-14, and 20-21 at 7 pm, with a 2 pm matinee on November 15th.  Auditions will be 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm on September 8th and 9th at Lake Nokomis Presbyterian Church, 1620 E 46th Street in Minneapolis.  Roles for 19 actors/actresses. NO appointments.  You do not need to be at both nights of the auditions.
