In Memoriam: May 2008

Littleton Lyceum Committee member Don Sturtz died unexpectedly May 15, 2008. I was privileged to be acquainted Don and his wife, Liese, for many years and know that he will be sorely missed by his family, colleagues and community.

As past president of the Littleton Rotary, Don affected much good in Littleton including the co-sponsorship of Lyceum programs by the Rotary. Both Don and Liese brought knowledge and a willingness to serve when they join the Lyceum Committee and Don was an enthusiastic member of the Historical Society as well.

I am sure that Don’s legacy to us is one of an exemplary sense of civic duty and civic pride. Littleton is a better place for having had Don Sturtz as one of its residents.

Andrew Bowers, President
Littleton Lyceum

INCA SON

Inca Son's purpose is to introduce and educate peoples to the riches of Andean Culture. The group presents traditional music and dance of the Andes Mountains of Peru and Latin America in authentic and colorful Inca attire. Every song and dance has a special importance, meaning or background in Andean folklore, and thus each is briefly described before being performed.

MAGIC BY SCOTT JAMESON and Third Lyceum Art Show

In Magic by Scott Jameson, classic magic and juggling routines have been given a fresh new look and are seamlessly interlaced with new, innovative routines written, designed, and crafted by Scott. The balance of the show is comprised of smart, 'stand-up' style routines, many of which either involve an audience member's onstage assistance, or elicit interaction from the audience as a whole. Scott has created dynamic programs that delight children, their parents, and their parent's parents. This Lyceum event is co-sponsored by the Littleton Rotary Club.

The Third Lyceum Art Show will be held in conjunction with this performance. Come enjoy photos, prints and paintings by local artists Cheryl Hardy-Faraci, Carol Lodi and Geralyn Miller. This event is fast becoming a Lyceum tradition.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

The reknowned touring company, Shakespeare & Company will return to the Littleton Lyceum! It’s Midsummer Night, the one night each year when fairy craft can transform our world. When young lovers fleeing an arranged marriage enter an enchanted forest, they are caught in a web of spells and magic spun by Oberon and Titania, King and Queen of the fairies, and the ever-mischievous sprite Puck.

Launching its 30th season in the culturally-rich Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts in Lenox, Shakespeare & Company aspires to create a theatre of unprecedented excellence rooted in the classical ideals of inquiry, balance, and harmony.

GUY PEARTREE AS FREDERICK DOUGLASS

Guy Peartree performs historical characterizations of Frederick Douglass, William Brown and George Washington Carver; as well as folktales from around the world. His rendition of Frederick Douglass is sensitive to the historical and folkloric features of this period in American history. Peartree's storytelling is signatured by engaging characterizations evoked through voice, pantomime and dialogue and his historical portrayals are faithful to the folkloric elements that broaden and enliven history.

 

All programs are held at the Littleton High School Performing Arts Center. See the Directions link for information on how to find our venue.
