🍋 Reminder! Auditions for Complaint Department & Lemonade are THIS MONDAY, August 24th at 6:30 PM at the JCLT Annex! 🎭

Picture a complaint department where absolutely nothing is off limits, from cookie icing to earworm songs to the price of cheese. Each character gets a turn behind the desk, forced to solve someone else's ridiculous problem right after airing their own. It's fast, it's funny, and every role gets a moment to shine. 😂

Whether you're a longtime JCLT performer or this is your first time stepping up to audition, we'd love to see you there. No advance sign-up required, just come ready to have fun and be part of the process. Roles are open for a range of ages and experience levels.

Show dates: October 1 & 2 at 7:30 PM, and October 3 at 2:00 PM, at the JCLT Annex.

Questions? Email jcltcdandl@gmail.com or call 785-238-3871.

See you Monday! ✨

🎭 Q&A with Summer Stage Director Chloe Welsh

Second year directing — and just two weeks away from Summer Stage kickoff!

One word to describe this summer:
Exciting!

Go-to hype song:
Almost anything from Hairspray — always lifts my mood!

Favorite rehearsal snack:
Peanut butter crackers

If you were a Disney character, who would you be?
Belle — I love to read!

Dream role in a show:
Chicago!

Favorite musical:
Right now, Rent (but it changes all the time!)

First show you were in:
Aladdin Kids — right here through the JCLT summer theatre program!

Funniest rehearsal moment:
Last summer, auditioning kids doing dog impressions for Elle and Paulette’s dog in Legally Blonde Jr. — easily one of the silliest (and best) parts of the job!

Emoji that describes your directing style:
💃🏻

One rule you always enforce:
Be kind & creative — that covers just about everything.

What do you love about Summer Stage?
The fast pace! From auditions to performance, two shows are fully produced in under a month. It’s incredible watching how much students grow in such a short time.

Finish this sentence:
“This summer will be so much fun!”

The shows may be over, but we’re not ready to pack it up just yet!

Some nights felt electric, some felt magical, and some moments on that stage will stick with us for a long, long time.

Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, White Christmas, Private Lives
& Rock of Ages

Each one brought something unforgettable.

But the story isn’t complete without YOU.

💬 What are you still thinking about?
📸 What photos are you holding onto from this season?
🎶 What song randomly shows up in your head and won’t leave?

We want to relive it all through your eyes—drop it below, tag someone you shared a seat with, and let’s bring the season back to life together one memory at a time 💛
