American Rhythm at The Lamb’s Players Theatre, 2001
Coronado’s premier live theatre, The Lamb’s Players, just announced its 2016 Season today. As always, the line-up includes a mix of energetic musicals beside more thoughtful intellectual pieces, as well as with light-hearted comedy for everyone to enjoy. Unlike the 2014 and 2015 Seasons, however, many of the pieces will be familiar to only a smaller audience, and will introduce theatre-goers to new music and themes.
Producing Artistic Director Robert Smyth shared, “Composing a Season is always a delicate and delightful balance. Each year, we look to tell good stories well, combining patron favorites with new pieces they may never have had the opportunity to explore. We are excited with the line-up we’ve come up with for 2016.”
