Mission Accomplished

The mission of La Crosse Community Theatre is to improve and enrich
the quality of life in the 7 Rivers Region through theatre education
and live performances. How do we accomplish our mission? We do so
with every rehearsal, with every School of Theatre Arts class, with every
theatrical performance LCT enriches and improves the quality of life for
the people who volunteer and for the people, like you, who come to LCT to
experience live theatre.
Our volunteer cast and crew learn about theatre, but it’s the experience
that enriches their lives. Tonight, our volunteer actors, ranging in age from
10 to adulthood, will experience live theatre by performing for you. Their
lives have been enriched by the bonding and building of new friendships,
with cast and crew, throughout weeks of rehearsals. They have dissected
and interpreted the script, they have learned about values and life lessons
through the characters they portray…this is how LCT accomplishes its
mission. This is La Crosse Community Theatre, life on stage.

Winter classes begin January 11, 2010! Register NOW!

Brochures available online

Why join? Students grades 2 through 12 will gain
an appreciation of theatre arts, as well as a deeper
understanding of the importance of teamwork, discipline,
focus and commitment, all while having fun with their
peers. Students will also benefit from an enhanced sense
of self-image and confidence while they foster self-
expression and develop creative acting skills.

LCT’s 2009–2010 Season Reminder

LCT_front-revised.pdf 10/29/09 5:25:46 PM

“Save the Dates”

Weeks ago, we mailed our 2009–2010 season
reservation “Save the Dates” post card. This
season post card includes all the dates our
patron donors, season ticket holders and the
general public should call to reserve seats.
If you did not receive a post card, or you
inadvertently discarded it, please pick
up one at the box office. We are also
sending out electronic reminders when
tickets go on sale and when seats can be
reserved. If you would like an electronic
reminder, please visit our website at
www.lacrossecommunitytheatre.org
and sign up under “stay connected.”

Please keep your season “Save the Dates” post card in a convenient place to
remind you when to call and reserve you seats. Thank you for understanding
this important change. Thank you for your support!

She needed a driver. He needed a job.
Neither expected to find a friend.

Having just wrecked another car, Daisy Wertham, a rich, sharp-
tongued Jewish widow is informed by her son that she must rely on the
services of a chauffeur. The person he hires for the job is a thoughtful
black man named Hoke whom Miss Daisy instantly dislikes. He, in
turn, is not impressed with his employer’s patronizing tone and latent
prejudice. In a series of absorbing scenes spanning twenty-five years,
the two grow ever closer as they discover a friendship that transcends
their differences.
