Old Lyric Repertory Company Adjusts Season's Play Lineup

The Old Lyric Repertory Company, an advanced training program based in the theatre arts department at Utah State University, has made a change in its summer 2009 lineup of plays. The mystery, Ghosts of Ocean House, one of four planned productions, will be replaced by An Inspector Calls. The change was made by Craig Jessop who recently assumed duties as the head of USU’s theatre arts department in addition to his duties heading the music department.

“Following careful consideration, the decision was made to replace the production with another mystery,” Jessop said. “The new title has a broader base with the Lyric’s summer audience. In the commercial world, it is not unusual to make adjustments after a schedule is announced. This was based on market considerations, keeping in mind our traditional summer audience.”

The OLRC successfully presented An Inspector Calls in 1993. It is a mystery by J.B. Priestley. The production opens July 9 as the fourth and final play in the OLRC rotation. It joins The Foreigner, opening June 11, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, opening June 17, and The Importance of Being Earnest, opening July 2.

All productions are presented at the Caine Lyric Theatre in downtown Logan, 28 W. Center Street. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m., with matinee performances on selected dates at 2 p.m.

Tickets for OLRC productions are available by calling the Caine School of the Arts Box Office at USU, (435) 797-8022, or the Caine Lyric Theatre Box Office, (435) 752-1500. Tickets are available online or in person. Individual tickets range from $19-$25. Additional ticket information is available online.
