IN 1982, a group of theater people saw a need for great theater productions in the Corcoran neighborhood, so Corcoran Park Players was established and staged productions from 1982-2016. Following our tenure at Corcoran Park, we played in assorted other venues in the Twin Cities. After 35 years, in 2017, we renamed our organization, Classics Lost 'n' Found Theater Company to continue providing great theater to local audiences. We've still producing while other theaters are long gone. When you see a CLFTC production, you see what we're all about.
Our mission has always been producing great productions, either popular recent works; plays by classic playwrights to be rediscovered or area/world premieres of new works. We've always been open to diverse casting and inventive staging, being flexible with sets, costumes and lighting while being focused on entertaining our audiences.
A shout out of special thanks to all the extraordinary performers who auditioned for Charley's Aunt. I could have cast the show several times over! Please come back and audition for us again!
Classics Lost 'N' Found Theater Company is pleased to announce its 2024 season. In the Spring, we'll present the delightful 1892 drag comedy, Charley's Aunt by Brandon Thomas. Set at Harvard in the 1920s, it's an hilarious mistaken identity comedy to be directed by Steven LaVigne.
First produced in the 1892, the CLFTC production of Brandon Thomas’ classic moves the story to a very fictionalized 1920s at Harvard. It centers on Fancourt Babberley (Babs), a student whose friends Jack and Charley persuade him to impersonate the latter’s aunt (whom Charley has never met) to serve as chaperone for an afternoon. Complications arise when Babs attracts the attention of two older men, and when the real aunt arrives.
We're pleased to welcome back seasoned performers on our stage as well as several new actors. Welcome Jim, Finn, Muhammed and welcome back to Josh,Selma, Dan, Carole, Beva, Liz and Bianca.
