The Streetcar Company

Community theatre in the Lakes Region since 1972

Our Spring musical, the Wizard of Oz has been postponed as a result of our venue (LHS) being unavailable due to COVID-19 closures.

Streetcar Company will perform this show, and we are working to arrange a date in the near future to continue this project.

Spring Audition information!

Streetcar Company, Laconia’s oldest running community theater, is proud to announce auditions for the spring musical “Wizard of Oz” on Sunday, Jan. 5th and Monday, January 6th. The theater company has partnered with the Belknap Mill, so that auditions and rehearsals will be held at the Mill. Sundays auditions are divided into 2 groups – children ages 6 to 12 are invited to audition between 2 and 4 pm and adults (13 and up) auditions will be starting at 6 pm. All ages are welcome on Monday evening, beginning at 6pm.
The timeless “Wizard of Oz”, by Frank Baum, celebrates its 80th birthday this year. Becky Guyer, one of the founders of Streetcar Company some 48 years ago, will be directing this production with Karen Jordan of Laconia handling the music and Erin Lovett-Sherman is choreographer. Doreen Shepard & Becky Fredette will be stage managers and the huge job of producer is Raelyn Cottrell.
“We are thrilled to be bringing this great musical back to our Laconia roots and to be partnering with the Belknap Mill for rehearsals” says Guyer. This production will be staged at Laconia High School on April 3rd, 4th and 5th.
Anyone auditioning should be prepared to sing a short song and will learn a few dance steps as well as do some character reading and improvs.
“In addition to the “famous 4” characters of Dorothy, Lion, Tinman & Scarecrow, we need a large ensemble of all ages to play “Ozians” (they live in the Emerald City of course!), Munchkins, crows in the cornfields, red poppy flowers, flying monkeys, Winkies, Glinda the good witch and the bad witch!”
