Lincoln Square Arts Center

I took expert theater goers Megan and I a minute or two to figure out this one. The Lincoln Square Theater is a performance space used by the Lincoln Square Community Arts Center. The theater is located in the Berry Memorial United Methodist Church basement. You got that? Basically a small playhouse in a church that is used by many production companies. But, it doesn’t just have plays, it also hosts cultural discussions, stage readings, live music, and dance.
One evening Megan and I decided to track down this theater for a «Babes and Blades» production called «The Double». A screwball comedy meets swashbuckler in a tribute to Cyrano de Bergerac and the 1940s. Megan liked it but I did not. It’s nothing against the actors or playwright, I’m tired of old fashion period pieces. Again it’s a personal thing. The actors were great, singing, dancing, sword fighting (though I expected more), and an easy to follow story filled with romance and comedy. It really did remind me of 1940’s film, the way they spoke, the way they dressed, and even the dance numbers.
Anyways can’t hurt to keep an eye out for future shows at LSAC.
