Join a riotous, ragtag gang—including the Banker, the Boy, the Butcher, the Baker, the Bellman, and the knitting Beaver—as they set sail to catch the mythical Snark.

Does anyone actually know what a Snark looks like?
Performed by a company of high-energy actors and packed with daft humor, fast-paced action, and an award-winning soundtrack of witty songs, The Hunting of the Snark is pure joy for the whole family.
Welcome to the Renaissance! Hailed by Time Out New York as "the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years," Something Rotten! is an outrageous, crowd-pleasing farce that mashes up 16th-century Shakespeare with 21st-century Broadway.
Set in the 1590s, desperate playwright brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are tired of being stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard."

But amidst the opening-night madness, they learn that true success means staying true to "thine own self."
Packed with show-stopping numbers, high-energy dance routines, and a hilarious cast of characters, this history-twisting production is pure theatrical magic. Don't miss it on the LHS stage!
"All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride."
Polyneices and Eteocles, two brothers leading opposite sides in Thebes' civil war, have both been killed in battle. Creon, the new ruler of Thebes, has declared that Eteocles will be honored and Polyneices disgraced. Antigone and Ismene are the sisters of the dead brothers, and they are now the last children of the ill-fated Oedipus. Antigone wants to bury Polyneices' body, in defiance of Creon's edict. Ismene warns her of the death penalty, yet Antigone proceeds with her plan to uphold her familial duty towards her brother and moral obligation to God. Antigone argues unflinchingly with Creon about the morality of the edict and the morality of her actions and gets punished eventually for her defiance.
