"Enter Love"

It's not often that we get to see a new production in Lafayette, but these next two weekends, Civic Theatre will premier a new work written and directed by Don Seybold, Eric Van Cleave, Lynn Lupold and Kenny Shepard.  With the cost of production being so high in New York, even Off Broadway, it is rare that a new work premiers there.  It's places like Lafayette, Indy, Louisville and Chicago (plus many other repertory theatres across the nation) where the great works begin.  Last year's Tony and Pulitzer Prize winner, "August:  Osage County" got it's start at the Steppenwolf in Chicago.

I'm confident Civic Theatre will not be the last place "Enter Love" will be produced, but it will always be the first place.  I'm sure the authors and director will tweak what they are only able to see when it is performed on stage.  So I encourage you to see live theatre at its best when a new work sees its first live performance in front of a "paying" audience.  Tickets have sold quickly.  Call the Civic box office soon.  My guess is most of the performances will be sold out.
