Theatrical Thursday: It's opera week
August 15, 2024
Four performances from the Lawrence Opera Theatre
Every Thursday we go live on Facebook and talk about what's happening at Theatre Lawrence, go behind the scenes of shows, explore parts of the building you may not see, and talk to the extraordinary people who make our programs happen. We will now also post these videos in the News section of our website every week, just in case you can't find the videos on Facebook, or don't use social media.
This week we talk to Linda Jorgenson from the Lawrence Opera Theatre. She gives us a preview of the four events they are producing at TL this weekend. That in addition to our regular run down of upcoming TL activities.
