Drama
LSB Drama
The Lincoln-Sudbury-Boston (LSB) Players is the extra-curricular performance group at Lincoln-Sudbury. The LSB Players are committed to providing an exciting, creative outlet for all students who want to participate, whether onstage or off. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming, inclusive environment, and on building strong ensembles within our shows and within our general community. We strive to create theatre that is relevant, honest, and professional. We encourage all students to take risks and make bold choices as they grow as artists, students, and people. We hope that the lessons they learn with LSB will carry into their lives beyond LS and the stage.
The Players perform up to 4 full-scale productions each year, including a fall musical, winter one-acts, spring play, and a 9th & 10th grade play/children's show. Productions are directed by Carly Evans, director of the program, and select seniors. Auditions are always open to all students. For more information, contact Carly Evans at carly_evans@lsrhs.net.
