Creative Works of Lancaster has presented a host of performing and artistic events through every season of 2011…
- Clifford Odets’ Waiting for Lefty, a fully staged reading of the classic labor play, was presented in March at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Lancaster…
- The Sockfather, a sock puppet parody of The Godfather, played to standing room only crowds in June at Lancaster Dispensing Company…
- Our first “Works in the Park” production of Shaw’s Arms and the Man drew hundreds, many first-time theatre-goers, to Musser Park in August…
- Artie Van Why’s 9/11 play, That Day in September, starring Brian Martin, was produced at the First United Methodist Church in September…
- The popular Mobile Art Gallery reappeared at October’s First Friday…
- October also saw the Creative Works-sponsored New Play Festival by members of the Lancaster Dramatists Platform (whose bimonthly play readings Creative Works also sponsors) at the Fulton Theater Clubhouse…
- We collaborated with Wood Stove House in November at The Candy Factory to bring Lancaster its first production of the nationally known 24 Hour Plays…
- And finally in December we produced the first full production of the work of playwright Harry Kondoleon with the uproarious yet touching Christmas on Mars in The Ware Center…
That’s 8 different events at 8 different venues in downtown Lancaster. All were highly acclaimed, and all except two were free (and those two were a minimal $10).
A major thanks to those who have donated their time, ideas, energy and money to help make our first year be a great one.
Together we can bring the Lancaster area more new theatre, art, comedy, music…
in short, the Works!
