Summer theatre

Central Lakes College’s Summer Theatre will celebrate its 40th year with a salute to show biz in shows to be staged on the Brainerd campus. The 2010 season includes Mel Brooks’ zany musical “The Producers,” Michael Frayn’s madcap farce “Noises Off,” and “The Adventures ‘n Theatre’s Magic Theatre Trunk.” All three shows deal with the backstage antics of show business and will be produced by a company of 54 actors and technicians. The season runs June 15 through July 17. “The Producers” (Dryden Theatre) and “Noises Off” (Chalberg Theatre) tickets are $10 for general admissions and $8 for students. There are discounts for groups of 10 or more patrons. There is no admission charge for CLC students. Tickets are $5 for Adventures ‘n Theatre performances. The box office: (218)855-8199. Tickets can now be purchased on line at www.clctickets.com

June 15 there will be an opening reception to celebrate 40 years of Summer Theatre at the college.
