Measure for Measure
February 21-27, 2025
What happens when a puritanical despot cracks down on vice – and freedom – in the city of Vienna? When the city’s ruler goes on sabbatical, his deputy, Angelo, clamps down on the city population. But when Angelo persecutes an otherwise upstanding citizen for the crime of fornication, he steps over the line as he tries to seduce a nun who comes to plead for her brother’s life. Don’t miss Shakespeare’s tragi-comedy or comic-tragedy (you decide). Directed by Natalie Beckman and LST Executive Artistic Director Jeremiah Miller.

Cry it Out
April 4-10, 2025
This 2017 play depicts the friendship between two brand new moms as they struggle through a frigid winter in a working-class town. Each woman faces some crushing decisions when it comes to balancing her life and her work with new responsibilities as a mother. Money — or a lack of it — looms large in the play, as the women, and a third new mom from a wealthy neighborhood, face wrenching choices. Written by Molly Smith Metzler. Directed by Molly McKitterick

The Tempest
June, 2025
The ultimate beach vacation, Shakespeare’s final play starts with a storm and takes place on a remote island inhabited by magical and colorful spirits. Chief among them is the magician, Prospero, who commands all with the tip of his wand. But even he cannot control the enchantment that ensues. This production in the park will be a perfect summertime combination of magic, betrayal, revenge, romance – and above all, laughter. Directed by Jonathan Strayer.
This production is LST’s free Shakespeare-in-the-Park offering. A $20 donation is requested.
Streamers
October 10-16, 2025
Set in an army barracks in the early days of the Vietnam War, Streamers is an explosive portrayal of a diverse group of soldiers and their fatally intertwined destinies: Richie, a wealthy neurotic who cannot resist temptation; Billy, an earnest midwestern straight arrow; Roger, a street-wise refugee from the ghetto; Carlyle, a pathological misfit who threatens the status quo; and Sergeants Cokes and Rooney, aging alcoholics whose grimly humorous song about parachutes that fail to open gives the play its name. A classic of the American theatre, Streamers is author David Rabe’s most successful play. Directed by LST Executive Director Jeremiah Miller.
