Story Synopsis: 

This is the endearing classic about a mouse named Stuart who is born into an ordinary New York family. All the charm, wisdom and joy of the E.B. White original are captured in this adaptation by Joseph Robinette, who also dramatized the highly acclaimed stage version of Charlotte's Web. The many adventures—both big and small—of Stuart Little are brought vividly to life in this story-theatre presentation. The acting ensemble plays many human and animal roles in a series of delightful scenes that make up the marvelous maneuverings of a mild-mannered mouse trying to survive in a "real people's world."

A co-production between LCCC Theatre and Spark Theatre Company

LCCC Theatre embraces diversity and inclusion and utilizes a non-traditional casting policy. Non-traditional casting is a method designed to increase artistic options by expanding casting opportunities for women, actors of color, seniors, and actors with disabilities in roles where race, gender, age, or the presence or absence of a disability are not germane. To that end, we encourage all actors to audition, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, or physical ability.

Other Production Positions Available:

Those interested in non-performing positions such as run crew, set, lights, costumes, and stage management are encouraged to attend auditions, but may also email LCCC Director of Theatre Jeremy Benjamin at jbenjami@lorainccc.edu to express their interest.
