Auditions for "Leon's" at Lofte Community Theatre

Manley, NE [October 10, 2012] - One of the Lofte's most-loved shows is coming back for Christmas. The original script and score of "Christmas at Leon's" was written by Lincoln radio personality Mick Kovar and Lofte Theatre Artistic Director Kevin Colbert. Originally staged in 2010, the world premiere of "Christmas at Leon's," met with thunderous applause and huge audiences for the entire run.

The opening scenes of "Leon's" find a bus full of holiday travelers whom are stranded in a blizzard at a strange cafe in the middle of Nebraska. Each character is struggling with their own personal issues, but with some angelic help, soon all find the true meaning of Christmas. "Leon's" has touching songs and an honest midwestern feel so often missing from modern scripts.

This is an open audition for all roles. Artistic Director Kevin Colbert encourages everyone who is interested in this production to please come to auditions on Monday, October 22 or Tuesday, October 23 at 7pm. Please bring a short, prepared song of no more than one minute in length. The rest of the audition will consist of cold readings from the script.

Rehearsals will begin in November and production dates are December 1, 2, 6-9 & 13-16. Those with questions should contact Kevin Colbert at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it." target="_blank">This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call 402.234.2553.
