2025 SEASON:
GET IT RIGHT
BY RANDOLYN ZINN
A sweltering winter's day in Hollywood with dancing, singing, and a host of unforgettable characters. When a tantalizing opportunity confronts your better instincts is 'hitting it big' all that it’s cracked up to be?
“Nothing lasts forever. However when there is genius in our midst, we must – as society, community, and individuals – embrace it as long as we can…In this time when survival of grassroot arts has never been more important, do yourself a favor – as well as make a statement – and go see this gem of a play in this gem of a venue by this gem of a theater company...‘Get it Right,’ is a lovely meditation on lifelong dreams, big breaks, and holding the line on one’s core values...We may find acting just as good elsewhere, but won’t see any better than right here in North Bennington, in the visceral realm of an extinct swimming pool, with audiences hovering just feet away from actors..." —Bennington Banner

The Berkshire Eagle
LRT re-energizes the intimate relationship between actors and audiences by presenting new and classic plays to elicit empathy, bring the past alive, and look to the future. Our productions are often set in real environments, driven by innovative direction, canny design and great acting. Audiences experience a unique theatrical intimacy that draws each observer into a more personal relationship with the play.
We create a safe and harmonious environment to discover and be inspired by the text, our environment, and each other. Our actors hail from diverse backgrounds and cultures to engage us with the world beyond our local community.
