Celebrate this beautiful time of year with LNT’s ‘Stories for the Season’

LNT
MONTPELIER, Vt. — On Wednesday, Dec. 18 at 7 p.m., many of your favorite Lost Nation Theater (LNT) artists will gather to present dramatic readings of stories, poems, & song from around the world. The return of the light and the peaceful magic of this winter season is heralded in tales from a host of different traditions.

In this year’s “Stories of the Season,” you will hear Dr. Seuss, Dvora Zipkin, and Dickens alongside Native American, Pagan, and African legends, poems, and myths – plus a Beatle tune or two!

The evening is made possible by these fabulous performers! Including some of your very favorite LNT stars!

We are overjoyed that our alumni cast of “It’s A Wonderful Life”: Kim Allen Bent (Pride & Prejudice), Michael Manion (Our Town), Maura O’Brien (Becoming Dr Ruth), Mark S. Roberts (Judevine), and Kim Ward (Disappearances) are taking part. They are joined for this evening by G. Richard Ames (Silent Sky, Hairspray) — who will also host — and young actor Selah Northrup (Narnia) — who is a veteran of LNT’s youth theater camps.

“Stories for the Season” is directed by Kathleen Keenan, sound reinforcement is provided by Bennett Shapiro of MadTech Sound, and Natasha Trooper handles the technical elements as designed by Kim Bent and Robyn Osiecki.

Join LNT on Dec. 18 to hear a 15-minute-rhyming version of “A Christmas Carol,” “The Power of Light,” “The Sun Egg,” “The Snow Children,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” and more classics or just-discovered tales.

Much humor and wit, tenderness and wisdom will be peppered through this entire evening, fun for the whole family.

Admission is free! Though donations will be gratefully accepted. Tasty treats and warm beverages will be available for sale – along with Lost Nation Theater’s 2020 Season tickets, gift cards, and Youth Theater Camps.
