At a private event for subscribers last night, the Lone Tree Arts Center (LTAC) announced its third season. With everything from Rodgers and Hammerstein to the Beatles to Celtic rock, the 2013-14 season for LTAC is jam-packed. Full of variety for all types, one common thread unites the programming. “The most important thing we want to deliver to our patrons is high quality, professional performances that they may not be able to enjoy anywhere else in the region.” says Executive Director Lisa Rigsby Peterson. “The upcoming season offers metro Denver area audiences the chance to see a huge variety of works that highlight outstanding performers in an outstanding, intimate, and acoustically wonderful venue.”
As part of the season planning process, LTAC staff reviewed the first two seasons of programming to identify audience trends, and also invited patrons to share their feedback. One of the common themes: American musicals with great scores were at the top of each list.

Sylvia
Written by A.R. Gurney
Directed by Randal Myler November 7-17
This fun comedy is a modern take on “the other woman”… if the other woman was a dog. When Greg brings home a street-smart dog named Sylvia, he and his wife Kate find their marriage in jeopardy. Sylvia offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age; as Greg becomes more and more attached to the pooch, we explore the relationship between man and dog, man and wife, and wife and dog. Filled with lots of laughs and thoughtful insights, Sylvia is a unique and perceptive look at modern love.
