Spotlight Arts Coll

Established in 2017, Lincoln-Way Theatre Guild produced many successful productions and supported charitable causes throughout the community. As we look to 2021, our Governing Board is excited to produce a full season of diverse theatrical and musical productions under the new name of Spotlight Arts Collective. The future vision of Spotlight includes a wide array of performing and fine arts events expanding past our theatrical roots. The creative endeavors of Spotlight will continue to raise money for charities, scholarships, and other philanthropic pursuits in the community. Spotlight Arts Collective is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization #81-5459866

ATTENTION: BOYS, GUYS & THEATER CURIOUS HUMANS. ANNIE needs some guys. Boys ages 5+ are HIGHLY encouraged to audition!

We need:
Newspaper Boys
Orphans
Hooverville Boys
Adult Male Roles
…and probably a few guys who have absolutely no idea what they’re getting themselves into. 😉

And for our 5- 12 year old performers, there’s an extra bonus: you’ll have the opportunity to be part of an additional performance before ANNIE! 🎉

Never done theater? Perfect.
Done theater forever? Also perfect.
Think your kid would have a blast running around a stage with a bunch of other kids? WE AGREE.

Meet Leandra Ward, who plays the delightfully unforgettable Sister Mary Amnesia in Nunsense! ️ Sister Mary Amnesia may have forgotten quite a few things, but she certainly hasn’t forgotten how to entertain! Sweet, endearing, and full of surprises, she is sure to steal a few hearts, and perhaps a few laughs, along the way. We’re delighted to have Leandra bringing this wonderfully quirky Sister to life! Just remember… if you meet Sister Mary Amnesia, you may have to introduce yourself again later. Come see Leandra and all of the Little Sisters of Hoboken in Nunsense!

Come for the NUNS. Stay for the NUNSENSE. https://our.show/nun
