LAKE COUNTY – Lake County Theatre Co.'s (LCTC) spring musical will be “The Pajama Game.”

LCTC is teaming up with Mendocino College again to put on a production which is both a class (or two) and a great community theater experience.

One class is in performance and the other is in stage production (lights, scenery, costumes, back stage, etc.). If any of this interests you, contact Mendocino College and sign up, only $33 per class per transferable unit – education as well as enjoyment. Highs school youth only pay $11 per class and are definitely welcome.

This wonderful musical comedy is scheduled to rehearse on the stage of Little Theatre at the Lake County Fairgrounds on Martin Street in Lakeport on Tuesdays and Thursdays with performances to be held in May, but auditions are taking place right away, also at the fairgrounds at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 20 and Thursday, Jan 22.

The music of “The Pajama Game” by George Abbott and Richard Bissell is well known to many (“Hernando's Hideaway,” “Hey There” and “Steam Heat” to name just a few), but the plot and the characters may need to be re-introduced.

The story revolves around a pajama factory which is about to go on strike over a seven-and-a-half-cent raise. Of course the hero represents management and the heroine represents labor and, well, the course of true love never runs smooth, does it?

The cast will include a huge number of singers, dancers and actors (around 30 of them!) of all adult ages. Unfortunately, there will not be any kids under 12 in this one.

This will be a great musical for the beginner in theater as well as theater veterans. Give it a try!
