A Star Trek Christmas is BACK!

Back by popular demand! Stage Left Players will present their original holiday show “A Star Trek Christmas” at the historic Trinity Playhouse in downtown Lisbon, Ohio at 7 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, December 1,2, 8 & 9 and 2 PM on Sundays, December 3 & 10, 2023.

Executive Director and playwright, Kandace Cleland has channeled her passion for the original Star Trek television series by Gene Rodenberry to create a joyful, holiday space adventure for the entire family. “Growing up as a Star Trek kid, my mind reeled with the possibilities of a galactic future. Every week I boldly joined the Enterprise crew as they ‘sought out new life and new civilizations where no one had gone before.’ This holiday, I’m continuing that journey and taking my community theatre friends with me. We are having a blast!”

The story… StarFleet has assigned Captain Kirk and crew to holiday surveillance duty of the class M mining planet, Borz 5 in remote Sector 11- Santa’s sole supply of coalamite in the galaxy. All is calm, all is bright as the StarShip Enterprise maintains standard orbit until the Klingons show up with a scheme to get their names off the naughty list and destroy the coalamite supply.

Will the Klingons stop Santa’s magical ride? Can Kirk, Spock, McCoy and crew save Christmas? Come to the Trinity Playhouse, 234 E Lincoln Way in downtown Lisbon, Ohio and be part of the journey where no community theatre has gone before.

Admission is $15 for adults and $12 for students and seniors. Reservations may be made online by visiting https://www.stageleftplayers.org. Tickets will also be on sale at the door. For more information email stageleftseats@gmail.com or call 724-426-1955.

Snap the Whip takes the stage 7 PM Friday, Nov 17th!

Our Stage Left Youth Players are ready to "Snap the Whip” on the stage of the historic Trinity Playhouse at 7 PM Friday and Saturday, November 17 & 18 and 2 PM Sunday, November 1, 2023 as they sing and dance to our original pioneer story based on Winslow Homer’s painting. We highly recommend you reserve your seats NOW as tickets sell out quickly for our youth productions. https://www.stageleftplayers.org/

Playwrights and directors Kandy Cleland and Jodine Pilmer found inspiration in Winslow Homer’s painting to write a children’s musical set in 1850s Ohio. The story follows the challenges and joys of pioneer children throughout the seasons of a year. We begin in summer playfully scattering across a meadow in summer heat, and continue by making apple butter during fall harvest, battling winter storms and sickness, and rejoicing in a spring thaw.

Many thanks to the Ohio Arts Council for providing funding for this season’s Stage Left Youth Players’ productions.
