L/A Community Little Theatre presents A New Home
Directed by Paul G. Caron
A New Home is an original musical that tells the rich and complex history of Lewiston. Written and composed by Paul G. Caron and adapted from Lewiston: A New Home by Michael Rosenthal, Richard Martin, and Lynne Geiger, the show was first performed in September 1995 for the Lewiston Bicentennial. This production brings to life the stories of Lewiston’s Indigenous, Franco-American, and African immigrant communities, whose contributions have shaped the city’s identity and culture. The sold-out performances of A New Home received wide acclaim for the its musical score and the heartwarming authenticity of its stories. An original cast album was released in December 1995, and the show was performed again to sold-out audiences in 1996. In the thirty years since the original production, major events – both good and tragic - have occurred in Lewiston and are now represented in the musical’s revival to enhance its relevance and historical significance.
Performances will be held on October 30 & November 1, 6, 7, and 8 at 7:30 pm; November 2 and 9 at 3:00 pm. Tickets are $25 for adults, $22 for seniors/students, and $17 for children. Ticket prices include all taxes and fees. For tickets or more information, call (207) 783-0958 or visit LACLT.com
