AUTUMN NIGHT OUT

L/A Community Little Theatre members had a great time volunteering at Andwell Health Partners’ annual “Autumn Night Out” on September 5th, 2025, at Poland Spring Resort. Our members enjoyed dressing up to fit the “Speakeasy Soirée” theme! Costumes as fabulous as those worn by the CLT members can be rented for any occasion by scheduling an appointment at  https://www.laclt.com/facility-costume-rentals. From Prom dresses, to parties, to shows, CLT has an abundance of costume pieces that will fit your needs! 

L/A Community Little Theatre is proud to support other local businesses and join together as one. Thank you to Poland Spring and Andwell Health Partners for having us. 

RAY DUMONT TAKES DANCERS TO "THE GRAND HOTEL"

This month's theme for CLT'S CURTAIN CALL CHOREOGRAPHY was called "CHARLESTON!"! Taught by Ray Dumont, the August 22nd class focused on the Original Broadway Choreography for "We'll Take A Glass Together" from GRAND HOTEL: THE MUSICAL!

Ray has been working in professional theatre for over 30 years, as performer, educator, director, choreographer, and producer. Although his career has taken him all over the country, Maine has always been his home base. He has enjoyed over 20 seasons at Maine State Music Theatre, including four incredible years as Managing Director in the early 2000’s. In January 2024, Ray became the Executive Director of The Public Theatre in Lewiston, which will start its 35th season in October.

A STAGED READING FOR 'A NEW HOME'

On Friday, August 1, 2025, L/A Community Little Theatre welcomed an audience of interested guests to a staged reading of "A New Home" at the theater on Academy Street in Auburn. The 20-year-old musical has been updated to bring to life the stories of Lewiston's Indigenous, Franco-American, African, and other immigrant communities, whose contributions have shaped the city's identity and culture. 

Thank you to Russ Dillingham, the Sun Journal's Staff Photographer, for his work.
