Theatre Lawrence youth troupe stages Between the Lines this month
A 35-performer Youth Troupe will bring Between the Lines to Theatre Lawrence’s Bauer Farm stage for three June shows, with tickets sold online, by phone or in person.
A 35-performer cast from Theatre Lawrence’s Youth Troupe will take on Between the Lines this month at the Bauer Farm venue, giving local families a three-show summer option and putting middle- and high-school performers in a full-scale musical production. The run is set for Friday, June 26, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, June 27, at 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. at 4660 Bauer Farm Drive in Lawrence.
The musical is based on the young adult novel by Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer and follows Delilah, an outsider in a new town and a new school who finds comfort in her favorite book. In Theatre Lawrence’s description, Delilah’s connection to Prince Oliver pulls the story toward the line between fantasy and reality, a premise that gives the young cast a chance to work through character, timing and ensemble scenes rather than a simple showcase.
Emily Giles is directing the production, which Theatre Lawrence lists as a Middle/High School Musical performance. That matters because the work onstage goes well beyond memorizing lines. A project with 35 performers demands rehearsal discipline, stage presence, vocal control and the ability to carry a story through three public performances, all of which can help young actors build the habits that matter in school, work and later auditions.
Tickets are available online or in person, and Theatre Lawrence also takes phone orders at 785-843-7469. The theatre warns that it cannot vouch for tickets bought through third-party scalping sites and says counterfeit or invalid tickets will not be honored, a reminder to buy through the venue rather than an outside seller.
The June run also fits into a broader summer calendar at Theatre Lawrence, where youth camps, classes and other shows are already clustered around the same period. That makes Between the Lines more than one weekend of entertainment. It is part of a local pipeline that keeps students engaged, keeps families spending time and money close to home, and keeps Lawrence’s arts scene visible during the summer months.
